My daughter just started at FSU this semester and there's no running tally for any of her classes. And in her English class they don't give any of the papers/essays grades until the end of the semester. They just hand the paper back with general comments, sometimes just general comments to the entire class, not structured to the individual student's papers, for a re-write to be placed in their final portfolio. So on her re-writes, she doesn't know if she's trying to re-write a C paper or an A paper (that she's now messing up!). She will have no idea what her class grade might be until final grades come out over the break between semesters. In my opinion, that is not teaching anyone anything.
