RE: Volunteer (prerequisite vs DWF data) [HAPP-L]

["Stevenson, Bonnie" <BSTEVENSON@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In your school your DEPARTMENT can decide what an F is????  It doesn't have
to go through your governance system and be college-wide?  Or are you just
saying that below 70 is not enough for a student to progress to the next
course?

The scale I use is different.  Next semester the whole science dept. will
use less than 70% is an F.  Less than 78% is a D.

All...

I like the suggestion of compiling data.  It will be helpful when
discussing our own school's A&P issues.  The suggestions Ken makes are
good ones.  The only suggestion or comment I have is about the %
D's/F's.  Is D passing at any institution?  Does anyone use a grading
scale OTHER than 90 - 100 that would possibly skew the D's and F's?
Personally I'd lump all non passing grades in one category (for us that
would be D's/F's).

One last comment... sometimes students that don't pass A&P I take A&P
II, should that be monitored or taken into account? (perhaps that is
getting too picky).

Thanks heading up the data aquisition!!
