I have read an article called Grading Practices by Crosby who talks about how he would want his students to look at their grades. There are two ways, you can look at your overall grade and say, Oh I'm doing pretty good! Or you could look at the separate categories like Crosby had said, you could look at Participation (in class and on the blog) ,Objective and Written Exams, Content of Formal Essays and, Mechanics of Formal for example. This could help you see what you need to work on if you have a lower grade percent in one area, say Objective and Written exams. Then you can focus on getting your grade up by knowing where the extra help is needed.
I also thought about how teachers now have put up our grades in separate categories which is really nice. Like I've said before, it helps to see your grade in chunks vs. seeing the overall grade and not knowing why you may have a B or lower. Or you can see what you have improved on, to. Grades are so important to us students even though some don't always care. But we or at least I always worry about not getting a good grade and it helps to have infinite campus to tell you all the assignments, how you did, and what you are missing. it even shows some of the upcoming assignments. All teachers should post grades in categories if they don't already and all students should check their grades because it could help them improve so much by knowing it. It sure helps me and I will keep doing it. By the way, I should go do that now!

You did good job on going into detail and spoke clearly and loudly. Try not to rely on your notes as much as you did.
Xavia, you did a great job! I totally agree with you how everyone learns at a different pace and some teachers and classmates need to realize that people with certain disabilites are like every other student and they should participate. Next time, try not to look at your notes so much other then that great job!
Xavia, good presentation. You spoke clearly and explained the article well. Great job!
Xavia! I agree with you that kids are falling behind because of their learning abilities, becaue most of the time they don't even know about their disabilities, so no one knows why they're in high classes and be failing out of it. I agree with you and Sean B. Because most people just look at the overall grade, but people do need to know why they have an F or a D. Great job!
