Lets the students know at any given point in time so that if correction is needed it can occur promptly.

I think it is important to keep students in the "loop". They need to know how they are doing. If you keep them informed of their grades, they tend to have lower "class anxiety". I hate hearing..."oh I think I am doing bad in this class". So, by handing out bi-weekly progress reports, my students can see what their standings are in my class.
Students need to know where they are with their grade all the time. If they find out they are doing poorly at the end of the course they may give up on trying. If they don't find out until the end they will feel cheated and unfairly treated as well.
Hi Bob:
In addition, by allowing the student the chance to see where they are, they can choose to make changes in their study habits if need be.
Most instructors would undoubtedly be in agreement with your point of view.

Hi Terry:
By allowing the student the chance of seeing where they stand on a regular basis gives them an opportunity to make on course corrections for a more successful outcome.
Regards, Barry
Hi Jill:
You are correct - on course correction is sometimes a great way to help the student find the self-motivation they need to make changes in study habits for more successful outcomes.
Regards, Barry
Hi Elsie:
In addition, showing students where they are gives them a chance to make oncourse corrections in their study habits.
Allowing them the opportunity to do this may make for more successful outcomes.

Hi Jose:
Yes - allowing students to see their progress provides the opportunity for them to make on-course corrections in study habits.

Hi Gregory:
In addition to motivating, it may give them a glimpse of the types of changes that are needed to be more successful.
The most common mistake students make is with studying. Either not spending enough time, or spending too much time on one subject.
Regards, Barry
Hi Marcia:
By allowing students to know their progress provides the opportunity for them to make on-course corrections.
Ultimately,the most important factor is the learning itself.

Often the students who are not doing well in the class are the ones that the instructor will call out to talk to. Eventhough the conversation may be private, it still denotes that this student has a problem. I like to take a little extra time (and sometimes that is difficult) and talk to each student privately to tell them their progress in the class so that there is not just one (or more) student singled out. It takes some pressure off of the student who might not be doing as well as another student.
