calculated using the current scale. The calculation for each succeeding class will be decreased by 25%. The school profile attached to each college application will include an explanation of these changes. GPA's are calculated using the following methodology: When calculating GPA, first multiply the credit value of the course times the grade point value of the grade received in the course. For example: A student's grades in year 2009-2010 (current system) would be calculated: Grade of 93 (is 3.75) x 5 credits for course 1 = 18.75 "quality" points Grade of 84 (is a 2.75) x 2.5 credits for course 2 = 6.875 "quality" points A student's grades in year 2010-2011 (new system) would be calculated: Grade of A (is a 4.0 in the new system) x 5 credits for course 1 = 20 "quality" points Grade of C+ (is a 2.3 in the new system) x 2.5 credits for course 2 = 5.75 "quality" points The cumulative GPA is then calculated as follows: Sum of all quality points _______ = G.P.A. Sum of credits for all courses graded The sum of all of the quality points, regardless of the system, is added together and divided by total credits attempted. In this example it would be: 18.75 + 6.875 + 20 + 5.75 = 51.375 51.375 divide by 15 credits = 3.425 GPA (combined GPA - current and new systems). The same method is used for calculating WGPA and GPA. For HNS courses, grade point equivalents increase 0.5. For AP courses, grade point equivalents increase 1.0. To reiterate, the new grade scale will go into effect beginning in September, 2010. Grades earned prior to the 2010-2011 school year will be on the current system and will not be recalculated. 32
DESIGN AND APPLIED TECHNOLOGY Curricular Highlights This year has been a year of change and expanding into the unknown. With this expanded agenda, we encountered some failure but much more success; the challenges are not considered failures, but rather they were learning experiences. Hydroponics Introduction to Engineering Design included a hydroponic project and we quickly realized that it takes more than dirt and water to make a seed grow. During the project, we had some issues with leakage since the systems ran for about three months. The project was based in engineering design principals of hydroponic system and how well the system ran. The students were required to maintain the systems and evaluate plant growth. They kept a running journal of their systems on a wiki page and updated it weekly. The project will be utilized again next year with changes to designs and safety systems to minimize leakage. Sun chip Another project introduced was one of environmental sustainability. Sun chip bags claim to be decomposable; we took the claim into different environments. The Sun chip claim is in ideal decomposition conditions. We placed samples into different scenarios and tracked their decomposition. We kept weekly records of weight and tensile strength for each strip. Again, we kept the data on a wiki site and, in the end, were able to chart the decomposition rates based on the samples conditions. The most important change in this project is accurate starting samples to maintain integrity of the study. BP Also, in the Into to Engineering class we did a collaboration project with another school in Virginia. The project was based on the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. This was the first collaboration project with another school; we quickly learned that open communications and a clear understanding of expectations are essential when communication with a group strictly by email. Although, we would like to do another collaboration project, we would set up ground rules and make sure everyone was on track with the concept. Although the Inventions and Innovations class has been a staple in Design and Applied Technology, expanding elements within the program has enriched and made the program better. Additions to a design project allowed the students to create an original invention or innovations and expanded it into an infomercial. The first time through, we made the project simple and filmed the students in the classroom. The results were not very impressive. We decided to do more with the project and reach out to Tim Klein and Heather Hersey for assistance. With their help the students were better prepared to film the commercials themselves with scripts, editing and locations chosen by the students. The infomercials were a success. Student interaction was high and they really took an interest in preparing the best commercial they could. They practiced, filmed and edited until they were happy with the results. Students even came in during tutorial to film and edit to make their product the best it could be. The students seemed to enjoy the interactivity and the ability to take charge of a project and make it their own. 33
