[quote=Anonymous]I listened to a great This American Life about a first gen student struggling with college math (I believe she was at UT Austin) and she was in a class where if she did better on the final than on the midterms, her final exam grade was her grade for the class. I think that is not a bad policy for a year like this given how much schools failed kids last year. It's math -- as long as they eventually learn the concepts, it really doesn't matter if they were confused at the beginning. and since math is about understanding and not memorizing, this policy does not harm the kids who have been doing well all along.
