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!)
The way that we have used transfer grades before is to use that average for any assignments that were done prior to the student's arrival during that grading period. We also include the grades earned on the assessments the students have taken in our class. That way, the final grade is an average of both. You could possibly give the student some assessments over skills that she should have learned in that class at her other school to incorporate into the average. |
