The midterm grade period occurs each semester between the fifth and sixth week of classes. During this time, I will assign you a midterm grade for this course, which you can access in UNCGenie.

Your midterm grade in this course is a snapshot of how you are currently performing academically based on the assignments we have had to date. It will let you know if you are on the right track or if you need to take action to do something differently to improve your grade. If you have a D or an F at the midterm, we should definitely talk further about strategies and options for continuing in the class.

You can find more information about midterm grades on Spartan Central. Once midterm grades are assigned, reach out to me if you have questions. You should also talk with your academic advisor if you are considering withdrawal from this class.
