基本原理
In fall 2017, Michigan State University noted in 谈话 that it is critical to put students at the “center” to increase retention and reduce 缓刑和退学. Many institutions require midterm grades and, although there is not always a correlation between midterm grades and success in a course, midterm grades provide an early alert to students who may be at risk for failure.
EGSC is committed to student success and to implementing a wide array of early alert 干预程序. 这 policy supports the EGSC Early Alert policy, which established alert reporting in Grades First for two or more absences from class and notification to the EGSC retention team. 这 policy expands on the early alert policy 通过建立 要求 报告时间表 midterm grades and Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory progress reports at punctuated points in the term for all courses, as outlined below, to keep students informed about their progress at key points in the semester so as to ensure success.
这 policy applies to all full-term, mini-term, and summer term courses on all EGSC campuses and off-campus instructional sites. It replaces the former process for entering “midterm grades” or “5-week grades” in Banner Web, outlined in the faculty handbook 从2017年开始.
分级作业
教员被要求管理 分级作业 prior to the progress report and midterm grades reports for each term that are sufficient to be able to enter a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grade for progress reports prior to the midterm (on the schedule outlined below) and a 信等级 for the midterm 成绩(按以下时间表).
D2L的成绩单
In order to foster student success, it is crucial that students have a place where they can see their up-to-date grades posted. 为此，教员是必需的 to post up-to-date grades regularly in the college’s learner management system, D2L, or in an integrated learning tool, such as My Math Lab, using a combination of both formative and summative assessments so that students may track their progress. 这 enables students to better track their progress and works to support the intended outcome of midterm grades and progress reports.
The Associate Dean for 网络学习 provides training in D2L. 所有的新教员都将 要求 to attend at least one training for D2L. Specific training for the D2L gradebook functions will be available for all faculty members via video and in-person workshops.
