  • 1.  Seminar and Practicum Grading

    Posted 19 hours ago

    Hi Everyone and Happy Friday!

    I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share how they grade practicum/seminar if their students complete practicum over multiple semesters. We are running into issues when a student receives a passing grade in the Fall in practicum/seminar but then receives a failing grade in the Spring. Per our policies, students must take both semesters over again but that requires retroactively changing their grade from the Fall to an F so they can retake the course due to Registrar requirements. I'd love to hear how others approach this!

    Thanks, 

    Melissa

    Hi Everyone,

    We have a few cases where a student will pass Field 1 and fail Field 2. In that case, they will retake Field 2. We don't make the student retake Field 1. Most times there isn't a problem with them going back to their field placement and starting over for the new course. We also offer the field courses in other semesters, so students won't have to wait a full year to finish what they have started. We offer field 1 in the summer and fall, as well as field 2 in the fall and spring to encourage students to keep moving forward with their goals of completion.
