FACULTY FORUM Grade Point Average and Changes in (Great) Grade Expectations
نویسنده
چکیده
This study examined students’ grade expectations over the course of a semester. Students provided their expectations at 3 times: within the first week of the semester, midway through the semester, and within the week just prior to the final exam. Results demonstrate that expected grades decreased over the semester and that the rate of change interacted with students’ cumulative grade point average. Neither the course nor the section of the course (instructor) had a significant influence on grade expectations. Relative to their grade point average, the majority of students maintained rosy grade expectations despite regular feedback on coursework.
