Early Academic Assessment:
Every semester, professors help the students in 1000 and 2000 level classes by issuing midterm grades between the fourth and seventh weeks of classes. This gives students a chance to turn their grades around before the end of the semester. If you have received an email regarding a deficient grade at midterms, this key can let you know what areas you can improve:
