A student who's exempt from final decides to take final

Grade counts, right?
Or give them the better result of grade before final or grade after final?

"Never putt a gimme" If you miss, it counts.

Give better of the two

Fail that fricker for being cocky.

I would give him the better of the two.
But I have had plenty of dickhead teachers who count everything.
I would only exempt someone who already had an A going into it, thus making the final pointless.

That's usually only reserved for students with an A already, so what's the point. I had one teacher who was very late for a final and told us we could take the grade we had, take the final then, or come back the next day and take it. My lazy self took the B and headed straight to the fishing camp. Only time I was offered the chance to skip a final but still should ha e taken it to get an A.

Not in a plus minus system.

You guys dont know theres a plus minus system at schools now?
Posted on 12/8/15 at 11:43 am to Pectus
I'd give him the grade he gets... I guess he was going for an A+ rather than just keep an A?

So the student had an A- and he was exempted, but wanted to take the test anyway to bump it up?
My understanding of the +/- system is that it is A,A-, B+,B,B-... At least that's how it was for me in grad school away from LSU.
Is it different there? Either way, I would only exempt students who had nothing to gain by wanting to take the final.

Yeah.
What if it hurts them?
Should I say that they cant drop a letter, but they can drop to a lower grade? (A to A-)
Then that's not fair to people with A- where they can only be helped.

Thank you.
Much better answer.
You get an A.

Give him the better of the two grades. Can't fault someone for trying to get a better grade than he already has even if it was just to turn an A into an A+.

When I was in school, I'd get the grade I got inc. final.

Makes me feel better about our future knowing Pectus is molding young minds.
Whatever you end up deciding I'm sure will be the righteous choice, my man.

This better not be sarcasm because I respect you.

I don't get why he should be treated differently from students who weren't exempt from the final if he decides to take it.
Posted on 12/8/15 at 11:50 am to Pectus
If he takes it, he assumes the risk of a lower-grade. That's the trade-off.

That is what I think.
It has to be the same treatment.
