Final grades in college level AP classes will not be adjusted because the student was “close” to the next higher grade. As the course info packet states clearly:
No grade adjustments are made for students who are “close” to a particular grade. So an 89.99% grade is a B+ grade, and will not be “rounded up” to an A- grade.
Grades reflect mastery of course content, not the effort expended by the student. Plan ahead, track your grade closely, and work to earn the grade you desire.
Beyond this statement, I have scaled every quiz all year to assist students attain their next higher grade and I have provided an extra credit project each semester to assist students reach the next higher grade. In short, I have done my part already to assist every student in “moving up” to the next higher grade.
Sincerely,
Mr. Eliot
