Our GPA is consistently one of the bottom ones. For some I think the problem is overprogramming, but I think that lots just aren't responsible for themselves. We already have a points system that incorporates gpa and mandatory study hours for those on academic probation, but what else can we do? I would especially like some kind of way to help our good grades get better instead of just focusing on the lower ones. We have lots of straight A girls, lots of B grades that could easily be As. Then we have a huge gap, and a a lot of girls whose grades are suffering. Do you have any ideas for programming or accountability?
These are some that I have...
- chapter study hours where everyone must come and study in silence for an hour every other week
- grouping girls with others in their classes or majors and making it mandatory that they discuss topics and classwork on a weekly basis, maybe on a discussion board or facebook thread so that i can verify that they do it
Do those seem like they would help, or do you have any more you would like to offer? If so, I would be very grateful. We are just desperate to get our chapter GPA up this year instead of having it get worse or we may end up on probation in the future.
