[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does FCPS do that? Average your grades? Kids still take finals in FCPS too, right?[/quote] Yes, for most classes the final counts for about 10% of the final grade. The quarters add up to the rest (2/9) except for Honor's sciences which have another 10% counted for the independent project (so quarters are 20% each). Some teachers grade on the straight average. Others grade on the trend (meaning if you got a C first quarter and then got a B then an A and an A, they might give you an A) - this is mainly the AP History teachers as they are trying to get the student learn how to write for history and they grade based on what they want to see by the end of the year. Some classes have their finals right after APs, some classes, like English, have a final essay or project in lieu of a final. Somee have the regular final on the last week of school- most of these are freshman and sophomore years. It all depends. [/quote]
