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!) There has to be some sort of mixture of the two. You want the final grade to reflect the learning the child has done, but you have to be careful if you completely ignore the transfer grade. Legally that could present an issue if the parent were to call you out on it. |
