Erin B. Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 This seems like such a silly question, but I can't seem to settle on what to do. When figuring grades, do you stop and issue a grade each quarter (or semester) and start fresh the next quarter? Then average the 2 quarter grades for the semester grade and the 2 semester grades for a final grade? OR, do you just continue right along and the final grade is a cumulative of the year? Does it matter? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I issue grades at the end of each semester. However, DD17 needed quarter grades turned in for her dual-enrollment activities with the public school, so I calculated a mid-term grade for her based on her work completed at the end of the quarter. I do not start over at the quarter break because all of her classes are set up as semester classes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerryAtHope Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I just did them at the end of the year. If it's a subject that has tests or if you give paper grades, you & your students will both have a pretty good idea of how they are doing anyway.

Clemsondana Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 When I assign grades at co-op and online, I do it at the end of each semester. For me, it's a remnant from when I taught college classes and each semester was a new class. Students also seem to like getting a fresh start halfway through the year. I seem to remember getting semester grades when I was in school, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
