Re: "A" in Robotics = Lower GPA?
Our school has solved this problem in a not so good way but it works for some. So if your GPA is above a 4.0 this class would lower your GPA but if it was below a 4.0, this class could help your GPA. The way they solved this is for every student who has a GPA above a 4.0, they award them 1 flex class. This flex class can be used on any class that is not on the 5.0 scale. This could be computer programming, business, engineering classes, music classes, etc. Our school does not have a robotics class but this flex idea could be used on a 4.0 robotics class. The only issue with the flex program is the fact that a student could only take 1 class with a 4.0. Many robotics kids at my school are also in Band or Orchestra. This would force them to choose robotics , music, or a drop in the GPA. The flex class does help the student's GPA to an extent.
