This score was worth 70% of their final exam grade (the other 30% had been determined by their classmates in their group oral presentations). The final exam as a whole was 20% of their final (semester) grade. No one element in the final was worth more than 15% of their final grade. Personally, I always hated it when final exams were the deciding factor in your final grade for a course. Some people just don’t test well, especially at the end of a long semester. For many of my students this was their first semester of college finals and I know they were nervous. I tried to be sensitive to all of those things when thinking about the weight of this exam and its impact upon their grade.

Barbara Lindsey on 16 Feb 10What is the rationale for having a student's final grade comprised solely of the mid-term and final exam?

Celeste Arrieta on 16 Feb 10This is such an interesting topic. I really don't understad why this happens. Does a student who comes only for exams and do excellent will have the same grade as a student who is always participating and showing interest in class?

Blanca Garcia Valenzuela on 21 Feb 10Regarding what Celeste says, I think it is really tricky. I guess it should depend on what you are grading. If you are grading proficiency and the student has it without going to class, why should s/he have a lower grade that another that participates but does not reach his/her proficiency level?
