** 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 replacement quiz.
On Friday, June 24th, 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.
As of today, we have done
three tests:
We will do Test#4 on
Wednesday.
Test#1- x/6 x/12
doubled e.g. 4/6=8/12
Test#2 – x/12
Test#3- x/12
Test#4- x/12
*I double the test marks
because tests are worth twice as much as quizzes.
You have the marks for
those.
You may have one test that
you were not satisfied with. Perhaps you missed a test and did not make it up.
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 be on Friday, June 24. We
will do it the last hour of class.
The replacement test will be
a new test, a new topic. The replacement test will be a 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 Thursday at 7PM
which test you would like to replace, if you would like to replace one.
You will have Test#4 back by
then.
You will know all of your
test marks.
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. Thursday at 7pm is the deadline to let me know if
you want to replace a test.
Probably hold off until you get Test#4
back.
