** Optional replacement test **
A few people have asked me about rewriting tests.
Maybe they had a bad test or a missed test.
In my classes, I offer an optional replacement
test for anyone who would like to do that. This is exactly the same deal as the
replacemnt quiz.
Next Thursday, you will have an opportunity
to replace one of the tests 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 fourtests:
Test#1- narrative x/12
doubled
Test#2 – descriptive x/12
Test#3- process x/12
Test#4- persuasive x/12
You have the marks for those.
You may have one test that you were not
satisfied with. You can replace one of those tests. You choose which one.
One is one. Not two, not three. 1=1
You will do the replacement test during
regular class time, as usual. It will Thursday, April 21. We will do it the
last hour of class.
The replacement test will be a new test, a
new topic. It will be a 100-150 word paragraph as usual.
Your old mark will be replaced with the new
mark. It will not be the higher of the two marks.
Think about if you would like to replace one
of your test marks.
If you have pretty good marks, just leave
them. Don’t bother with the replacement test.
Email me by next Wednesday at 1PM which test
you would like to replace.
Send me an email.
Make sure you use a proper Subject line:
“Name, Class, Replacement Test.”
“Hi Al,
I want to replace Test#1.
Thanks,
Betty”
I will respond.
“Ok. Thanks.
Al”
I will not accept
late emails. Next Wednesday at 1pm is the deadline to let me know if you want
to replace a test.
