Oleh Shahabuddin Amerudin Keputusan untuk menggalakkan pensyarah supaya menaikkan gred markah kursus yang mempunyai angka 4 dan 9 dihujungnya adalah suatu isu yang mempunyai pelbagai sudut pandangan dan pertimbangan. Sebagai contoh, markah keseluruhan pelajar sepanjang semester, iaitu selepas dicampurkan dengan skor kuiz, ujian, tugasan, projek, dan peperiksaan akhir, jika markahnya adalah 64, maka perlu dinaikkan kepada 65. Begitu juga, jika markah pelajar adalah 69, maka perlu dinaikkan kepada 70. Ini akan menjadikan gred markah seolah-olah tidak lagi mempunyai angka 4 dan 9 di dalamnya. Di bawah ini adalah beberapa aspek yang perlu dipertimbangkan dalam situasi ini: Kelebihan Kekurangan Pertimbangan Alternatif […]
