*Replacement quiz and/or test
**\** Optional replacement quiz and/or test **
A few people have asked me about rewriting quizzes and or tests.
Maybe you had a bad quiz and or test or missed a quiz and/or test.
In my classes, I offer an optional replacement quiz and/or test
for anyone who would like to do one.
On the second last class, you will have an opportunity to
replace one of the quizzes and/or one of the tests that you wrote.
Again, this is optional. You don’t have to do it if you
don’t want to.
So far we have done some two quizzes:
Quiz#1 X/6 1/6
Quiz#2 X/6 4/6
Quiz#3 x/6 3/6
Quix#4 x/6 4/6
Quiz#5 x/6
You have your marks for those.
You may have one quiz that you were not satisfied with.
One is one. Not two, not three. 1=1
You choose which one you want to replace.
You will do the replacement quiz during regular class time,
as usual. We will do it the final (25m) at the end of the class.
The replacement quiz will be a new quiz. The replacement
quiz will be a mix of all sentence styles.
e.g. If you want to replace your Quiz #2, the compound
sentence quiz, the replacement quiz will not just be on compound sentence; it
will be on all of the sentence styles. The replacement quiz will be six
sentences, as usual- mix of simple, compound, complex.
**The replacement quiz will be a mix of all of the sentence
styles: simple, compound, and complex.**
Your old mark will be replaced with the new mark. It will
not be the higher of the two marks.
**
Replacement test
Exactly the same situation with the replacement test. It
will be a paragraph on a new topic.
EF6/7/10 **No replacement opportunity for the essay
