Case: How should transfer grades be treated? A student recently transferred to my school from another county. The student has a transfer grade of 98% for calculus. From the first week I noticed that the student appeared to be lost with regards to the current lesson. I asked the student if she was not comfortable with the material considering it is a topic that should have been covered in the first semester. The student response was quite shocking. "I don't know much, I just do my work." This is final semester before graduation and grades are due in one week. Should I post the transfer grades, or should I give the grade earned on my assessments? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) You cannot correct the wrongs that have been done against the learning of that student in such a short time. I believe you should not affect his grade, but you should offer times before and school to remediate the student and try to supplement their skills as well as you can. There is no sense in hurting their GPA this late in their high school career when they've come from another school. |
