Adjustment of my Grading Scale
In evaluating students, the effort and attitude
of the student plays a major role in the degree
of success in science. I tell my students, that I
cannot change their attitude, but daily I
evaluate each students attitude. The attitude
that they bring to class can be positive or
negative. The attitude that brings the greatest
success is the I CAN attitude. Therefore, when
students are close to a higher grade on my
grading scale, their attitude dictates whether
they receive the higher grade.
