Abstract | Many colleges and universities nationwide use midterm grades to provide feedback to students about their academic performance at the midpoint of a course. In recent years, registrars have been challenged to collect accurate midterm grades. Numerous factors contribute to the challenge of collecting accurate assessments. This constellation of factors raises the question of the value of midterm grades and whether grades should be the sole factor used to evaluate student success at midterm. After many years of struggling to get accurate midterm grades, Elon University developed a new system that broadens the definition of satisfactory midterm performance. The new policy, called "mid-semester assessments," launched during the fall 2018 academic term. (ERIC). |
