** 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 one.

 

This 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                                  X/6

Quiz#2 –compound sentences     X/6

Quiz#3-adverb clauses                    X/6

Quiz#4- adjective clauses               X/6

Quiz#5- noun clauses                      X/6

 

You have the 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 and let me know by email.

 

You will do the replacement quiz during regular class time, as usual. It will Thursday, June 16. 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 Q3, the 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 5/6

 

Replace Q1.

Replacement quiz 3/6

*Less-than-ideal outcome* The average for your quizzes goes from 77% down to 73%.

 

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 2/5

 

Q3 or Q4- you decide Q3

Replacement quiz 3.5/6   The average for your quizzes will go up. 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 Wednesday at 2PM 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. Wednesday at 2pm is the deadline to let me know if you want to replace a quiz. You have 50 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.
