I have finished calculating the triad grade for the first grading period. As in the past, the first grading period is usually a shock for students in Advanced Placement courses. There are only a small number of points awarded the first triad, so any missed work will result in a significant decline. Overall the grades were good with a majority of students scoring in the A and B range.
Students who scored below a B usually did so for one of two reasons. First, the student missed an online quiz and received a zero for this grade. This is usually the first wake-up call that planning must be done to complete quizzes on time. Second, students failed to complete their online coursework such as posting to discussion forums or completing online note-taking over articles or web pages. Online class participation is a significant part of the overall course grade (both course syllabi are available online with the grade breakdowns included).
The good news is that there are significantly more points (hundreds!) left in the semester. As I mentioned at parent night, grades can make serious "swings" as the weeks progress.
The grade breakdowns by course are as follow:
US History 5-6AP
27 A's
12 B's
6 C's
5 D's
2 F's
United States Government and Politics AP
21 A's
10 B's
13 C's
4 D's
8 F's
