Re: Grades and Student Travel, Etc
I know for me I am not very motivated to do work at any time. At the end of the semester (in 3 days) I will most likely have a total GPA of 3.4 over the last 2 semesters. Now if I cared more and had more discipline to study and do homework I would most likely have a 3.9 or something that high. I have never had to study too much and have always gotten above average grades I guess. In highschool I would get 93% on tests and I wouldn't even remember there was a test. It was kinda just like, Oh look that is a test today oh well. I wish I was brought up to be more disciplined because I know if I cared in highschool the way I am starting to I would have been one of those people with 99%.

I think having a requirement can help and hurt, becuase if a student has a grade so low that it takes 3 weeks to bring up your already halfway through build season. I would rather limit the hours they are allowed at robotics. I think it can make people change but I mean for me unless your were offering me a new car or something like that in highschool I would have looked past the offer.
