<< In our Pre-College Math program, students must pass !each! of the several
content areas. They are not allowed to take the final unless they have
passed !all! of the eight section tests. We wanted to make the same
requirement for the final, but found it to be too complex.
We do, indeed, require 70% to pass. But if they score below 80% on any
test, they are given additional work in those concepts. >>
WOW!! I've done this only in my dreams....................... 8-) What a
concept! It's always frusterated me that students could fail three chapters
out of a text and still go on to the next course.
