** Optional replacement quiz **
A few people have
asked me about rewriting quizzes. In my classes, I offer an optional replacement
quiz for anyone who would like to do that.
Next week, you will
have an opportunity to replace one of the quizzes that you wrote. This is
optional. You don’t have to do it if you don’t want.
As of today, we will
have done five quizzes:
Quiz#1- simple
sentences x/6
Quiz#2 – compound
sentences x/6
Quiz#3- adverb
clauses x/6
Quiz#4- noun clauses x/6
Quiz#5- adjective
clauses x/6
You have the marks
for those. You may have one quiz that you were not satisfied with.
You can replace one
of those quizzes. You choose which one.
One is one. Not two,
not three. 1=1
You will do the
replacement quiz during regular class time, as usual. It will Monday, January
24. We will do it the last 25 minutes of 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 adverb clause quiz, the replacement will not just
be on adverb clauses; it will be on all of the clauses.
The replacement quiz
will be six sentences- mix of simple, compound, complex.
Your old mark will
be replaced with the new mark. It will not be the higher of the two marks.
SCENARIO#1
Q1 4/6
Q2 0/6 4/6
Q3 6/6
Q4 5.5/6
Q5 5/6
Replace Q2.
Replacement quiz 4/6
Best possible
outcome.
SCENARIO#2
Q1 4/6 3/6
Q2 4.5/6
Q3 6/6
Q4 5.5/6
Q5 5.5/6
Replace Q1.
Replacement quiz 3/6
Less-than-ideal
outcome
Think about if you
would like to replace one of your quiz marks.
If you pretty good
marks, just leave them. Don’t bother with the replacement quiz.
Email me by Wednesday
at 1PM which quiz you would like to replace.
Send me an email.
Make sure you use a
proper Subject line:
“Name, Class, Replacement
quiz.”
I will not accept
late emails.
“Hi Al,
I want to replace
Quiz#2.
Thanks,
Betty”
I will respond.
“Ok. Thanks.
Al”
We will also do a replacement test next week. I will talk
about this tomorrow. It will be the same structure as the replacement quiz.
