The real-world argument. One mission of schools, these proponents say, is to prepare students for the real world. And in the real world, work teams are often rewarded for their collective contribution, while individual contributions are not necessarily assessed.
No fair. Group grades are so blatantly unfair that on this basis alone they should never be used. Consider these two typical situations. Example 1: Two students, Joan and Ed, are each hovering between an A and a B in a science course. The amount of work they've done, what they've learned, and their motivation are comparable.
Underlying the arguments for group grades is confusion about the function of grading, which is, very simply, to evaluate students' competence in a given subject. When grading is used for other reasons—to motivate, communicate with, or socialize students—grades lose their meaning.
Motivation. If a student is working on a task solely for the grade, we need to reexamine three things: the content, the instructional method, and the recognition system.
1. Motor Vehicle Mechanic/Electrician (Grade III, II, I)-NITA. Automotive electricians are involved in the installation, maintenance, and repairing of electrical wiring plus electronic components in vehicles. You will sit for a grade test at the end of the 6 months study period. 2.
Sure, yes. Colleges in Kenya accept grade D, D-, and even E (artisan courses). You will obviously not be admitted to prestigious diplomas like in Clinical Medicine but there are countless courses (You have already read about them) you can register for with these grades.
Instructors are responsible for determining and assigning final course grades. Graded examinations, papers, and other materials used as a basis for evaluating a student’s achievement will be available to the student for inspection and discussion. Students may appeal instructors ' grading decisions.
When an R is placed before the grade, the student has elected to repeat the course under the terms of CSU’s Repeat/Delete policy. The original course grade is not calculated into the grade point average.
To appeal a grading decision, the student shall submit a written request to the department head. The request must set forth the basis for the appeal, identifying one or more of the three criteria set forth above.
Grade modes are Traditional (A through F letter grades), Student Option Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory, Instructor Option, Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory, and Audit. See below for more information.
Instructor option grading allows the instructor to determine whether Traditional or Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grading is to be used for a course. In courses approved for instructor option grading, the type of grading (Traditional or Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory) to be used for all students in the course during the term is to be indicated on the course syllabus.
The request must be submitted (or postmarked, if mailed) no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the first day of classes of the following spring semester for appeal of grades recorded for the fall and no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the first day of classes of the following fall semester for grades received in the spring or summer semester. If no appeal is filed within this time period, the grade shall be considered final.
Students may access their semester grades through RAMweb three business days after the week of final exams for each term.
The Case Study “Professor Rogers’ Trial”, [see appendix] show failures and requests suggestions to Professor Rogers regarding her Speech 101 class and the group of Anthony, Sylvia and Donald. Examples will be given why the person most responsible for the grade of D is Professor Rogers, then Donald. The least deserving of the grade of D was Andrew and then Sylvia. Suggestions are given as to how events should have been handled to the Professor, the Group, and the individuals; Anthony, Sylvia and Donald. .
Professor Rogers thought her Speech 101 students would enjoy role-playing a real court trial as their last speech for the semester. She also hoped the experience would teach them to work well in teams, a skill much sought after by employers. So, she divided her students into groups of six-a team of three defense attorneys and a team of three prosecuting attorneys-providing each group with court transcripts of a real murder case. Using evidence from the trial, each team would present closing arguments for the case, after which a jury of classmates would render a verdict. Each team was allowed a maximum of twenty-four minutes to present its case, and all three team members would receive the same grade.
For Grade D, the airborne particle classification is the equivalent of an ISO 8 cleanroom at rest. While in operation, the particle classification is not predefined; it will depend on the nature of the processes taking place inside the zone. This is what we call a Clean Non-Classified (CNC) area.
The required level of cleanliness for a Grade A area is obtained using a laminar flow cabinet or a laminar airflow hood (LAF). If the surrounding air is preserved and classed as Grade B, a laminar flow cabinet can attain a cleanliness classification of Grade A.
A cGMP Grade A environment is equivalent to an ISO 5, for both at rest and in operation. This means that whether employees are working or not, the cleanliness inside the cleanroom must maintain Grade A levels (ISO 5).
The Grade C cleanroom spaces are for performing less stringent steps of sterile product manufacturing. The airborne particle classification equivalent for Grade C (at rest and in operation) is ISO 7 and ISO 8, respectively.
The Grade A area is dedicated to high-risk operations such as fill/finish (filling zone), stopper bowls, open ampoules, vials, and making aseptic connections.
At rest, the Grade B cleanroom needs to meet a maximum of 3,520 particles (0.5 μm) per cubic foot. In operation, the number of permitted airborne particles increases to 352,000 (0.5 μm) for each cubic foot of air.
Under the GMP requirements, the manufacturing of sterile medicinal products can be distinguished into 4 grades: Grade A, B, C & D.
