[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50% is an F. An F is an F. Is an F. you want to demand some kind of Super F?[/quote] No it isn’t. A 50% inflates the students GPA. If a student doesn’t show up to class and does absolutely nothing the entire year that student deserves a zero.[/quote] Agreed. As it is, the student could rip the test in half in front of the teacher and throw it in the trash and would still get a 50. [/quote] That would be a disciplinary matter, and should be addressed as such. Having a minimum score of 50 is just math, no different than how each section of the SAT has a minimum score of 200. Not every scale has to go to zero to be useful. [/quote] Except it wouldn't be a disciplinary matter. Maybe, MAYBE a dean would talk the kid about his/her "feelings" and ask them not to do it again, but that's it. [/quote]
