Get Your Students Hired
Where I teach we have to use Grade book. I am not fond of this system for one reason only; there is no real way to helps students. Grades are locked in. Example 89.7 – is a B where I know this student was here every day, worked hard if not harder than rest of the class. I found work around, but that is not the way grading should go. Another issue is when a student knows that there grade is say “lock in” even if they get a 0 on the next test or last assignment; their grade will not be effected, then that also is not a great way to get students motivated.
we post our grades in the faculty grade book. The students can see their grades when they open their portal. I keep a separate paper brage book as well. If I have to discuss the progess with the student, I show them the grades in the paper book. I also post comments in the electronic grade book as well.
