Making the Grade Training and Installations:

TSTC Harlingen provides faculty with the program "Making the Grade" to assist in tracking and calculating Student .  Training, support, and installation assistance are available.

                        Steps for Setting Up Making the Grade

Since  Making the Grade allows faculty members to instantly see the change in the student's average, they are often surprised by how students' averages are sometimes impacted by the first few grades in a category.  Here is a handout with four scenarios.  In each scenario the student's average is affected in a way, which at first glance, appears to be illogical, if not mathematically incorrect, however, the average is being correctly calculated.  The first few grades in a new category can have a most unexpected impact on the student's average.
