** Optional replacement quiz **
A few people have asked me about rewriting
quizzes. Maybe they had a bad quiz or missed a quiz.
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 to.
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 choose which one and let me know by email.
One is one. Not two, not three. 1=1
You will do the replacement quiz during
regular class time, as usual. It will Tuesday, April 12. 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 quiz will not just be on adverb clauses; it will
be on all of the sentence styles: simple, compound, complex.
The replacement quiz will be six sentences,
as usual- mix of simple, compound, complex. e.g. 2 simple, 2 compound, 2
complex
Your old mark will be replaced with the new
mark. It will not be the higher of the two marks.
EXAMPLE 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
*Great outcome.* The average from your
quizzes goes from 68% to 82%.
EXAMPLE SCENARIO #2
Q1 4/6 3/6 *
Q2 4.5/6
Q3 4.5/6
Q4 5/6
Q5 4.5/6
Replace Q1.
Replacement quiz 3/6
*Less-than-ideal outcome* The average for
your quizzes goes from 76% down to 72%.
Think about if you would like to replace one
of your quiz marks.
If you have pretty good marks, just leave
them. Don’t bother with the replacement quiz.
If you have a really low mark somewhere, it
would be worth doing the replacement quiz.
EXAMPLE SCENARIO #3
Q1 2/6
Q2 1.5/6
Q3 0/6 3.5/6
Q4 0/6
Q5 2/6
Q3 or Q4- you decide Q3
Replacement quiz 3.5/6 The average for your quizzes will go from 18%
to 30%. You’re getting closer to pass. You will feel better.
REMINDER: Quizzes are worth about 30% of your
final mark.
What you can do:
Email me by Friday at 2 PM which quiz you
would like to replace, if you want to replace one.
Send me an email.
Make sure you use a proper Subject line in
your email:
“Name, Class, Replacement quiz.”
“Hi Al,
I want to replace Quiz#2.
Thanks,
Betty”
I will respond.
“Ok. Thanks.
Al”
I will not accept
late emails. Friday at 2pm is the deadline to let me know if you want to
replace a quiz. You have 49 1/2 hours.
We will also do a
replacement test (paragraph) as well. I will talk about this next week. It will
be the same structure as the replacement quiz. We will do the replacement test
in the final week.
