MA/MS TESOL degree holders and their respective GPAs

Posted by teachingenglishmadeeasy · July 25, 2009 · 2 replies

Okay,

I was thinking and was wondering something. How often do you think people graduate with degrees in our field with low GPAs? Do you think it happens often? At all? I am wondering because I am curious if unis make sure their cust...err...students are happy.

I think it happens more often than not. I'm pretty sure the uni.s and online (cough - stores) I mean institutions are serving the education virus/certification machine.

I'm in a program and to be honest putting in just enough effort to complete. AND, I'm doing very well (to my own surprise.) I'm always shocked to hear that there are a lot of people struggling with some of the tasks or materials.

In general, from what I read, there's been a general lowering of standards over the past decade on all levels ...

As in any program, you get out what you put into it. If your professors are all marshmallows, so be it. Then it is up to you to determine what that "A" is worth.
