Question two asks, can a student keep up their grade performance at the next level (Mirabella, 2011)? Is a strong GPA at the Bachelors level a good predictor of a strong GPA at the Masters level (Mirabella, 2011). Are GPAs naturally going to decline since graduate school is tougher (Mirabella, 2011)?

In order to be accepted into UW Tacoma, you need to withstand a GPA with the minimal of 3.0, but the recommended GPA to ensure acceptance is a 3.5 and above.

Many people may think GPA is important as it does define so much in a college setting. While some programs need a set GPA to come into them, and other programs course context make it hard to maintain a high GPA. GPA does not define the hardships you faced. It is set to number that our colleges allow to define us. As a goal, I am positive no one is going to complain if they receive an A as a course final grade. It is once you start to receive B's and C's that things become complicated. One semester

Dr. Meredith expressed that the Student Display in PAWS Grades were set to give both a four-point numeric score and a letter grade equivalence (A, B, C, D, or F) for each assignment.

I would like to address my low GPA during my time at San Jose State University from 2007-2011. There were two major obstacles that impacted my GPA during my undergrad studies. My first challenge was the ability to finance my education as I took the responsibility to work a full-time job during school in order to support my family as well as my education.

The circumstances that contributed to my inability to meet the required gpa was the fact that the second semester was my first real semester as a student. Throughout the semester I was dealing with the after math of my car accident. I was called by law enforcement staff to testify against the man that hit me.

to earn a satisfactory GPA, if they can't participate in gym? Most gym classes grade people on the amount of pushups or sit-ups they can do. If someone misses school for a couple of weeks, they are required to run 8 laps each day just to make up for their absence. This is ridiculous and very unfair for many students.

parts of the survey I would altar, delete, and what questions I would want to include. This survey was geared towards online college students and their experience. The two questions I would reword are question #3 by asking, “ What is your current GPA?” and giving them a scale. Ex: 2.0 or below, 2.1-2.5, 2.6-3.0, 3.1-3.5, 3.6-4.0.
