Scenario | Description | Scenario | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | year-long, 1.0 credit course with a final exam. Examples: CTE courses, performing art courses | 5 | 1st Semester, 0.5 credit course without a final exam Examples: most HS courses designated with an (X) in the course name designating the first half of a 1.0 credit course, middle school electives |
2 | * year-long, 1.0 credit course without a final exam. Examples: seen mostly in middle schools, as HS credit 1.0 or above courses require a final exam | 6 | 2nd Semester, 0.5 credit course without a final exam Examples: most HS courses designated with an (Y) in the course name designating the first half of a 1.0 credit course, middle school electives |
3 | 1st Semester, 0.5 credit course with a final exam Examples: not common, as courses giving less than 1.0 credits are not required to have a final exam | 7 | 1st semester, 1.0 credit course taught in a block format (2 periods per day) with a final exam Examples: courses taught at one of the career centers for CTE programs |
4 | 2nd Semester, 0.5 credit course with a final exam Examples: not common, as courses giving less than 1.0 credits are not required to have a final exam | 8 | 2nd semester, 1.0 credit course taught in a block format (2 periods per day) with a final exam Examples: courses taught at one of the career centers for CTE programs |
