Grading again (sigh)

I agree that the grading is totally confusing but don't let it get you down. The grades I posted on the blog are real, even if they look different from what it says in Infinite Campus.

I will post your grades to the computer system on Thursday at 3:30 pm. After that, I will still change your grade on a paper form to reflect your final project. So if you finish the final project, your grade will probably go up, and if you don't finish it, it will probably go down. I talked to the administrator and they expect to get a lot of grade changes on paper, both up and down. So they are not discouraging us from updating your grades right up until the last minute on June 1.

You have 3 things to think about at this point:

a. What grade will I get in the class? 

1. This grade will go on your high school transcripts. 
2. No one is getting an F in the class.
3. One person may be getting a D in the class. You can see that in the list of grades.
4. D is a passing grade for high school credit.

b. Will I get college credit?

1. You need at least a B grade according to Infinite Campus, which has the correct grade for your college course (but not for the high school course).
2. You also need to finish the final project, even if you grade is A or B.
3. This is the confusing part - you have two grades, one for high school, and one for college, and they are different.

c. What will my LOC look like?

1. Most people who come to this school want the LOC so they can show an employer.
2. If you don't do the work, you will get poor marks on your LOC.
3. Then you won't want to show it to an employer because it will work against you.
