** 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.
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 sentences
quizzes:
Quiz#2- simple X/6
Quiz#3 –compound sentences X/6
Quiz#4-adverb clauses X/6
Quiz#5- adjective clauses X/6
Quiz#6- 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.
We will do the replacement quiz during regular
class time, as usual. It will Wednesday, August 3rd. We will do it the last 20
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 Q4, 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
1 simple, 2 compound, 3 complex
Your old mark will be replaced with the new mark.
It will not be the higher of the two marks.
EXAMPLE SCENARIO #1
Q2 4/6
Q3 0/6 4/6
Q4 6/6
Q5 5.5/6
Q6 5/6
Replace Q3.
Replacement quiz 4/6
*Great outcome.* The average from your quizzes goes
from 68% to 82%.
EXAMPLE SCENARIO #2
Q2 4/6 3/6
Q3 4.5/6
Q4 4.5/6
Q5 5/6
Q6 5/6
Replace Q2.
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
Q2 2/6
Q3 1.5/6
Q4 0/6 3.5/6
Q5 0/6
Q6 2/5
Q4 or Q5- you decide Q4
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 Tuesday at 3PM 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. Tuesday at 3pm is
the deadline to let me know if you want to replace a quiz. You have four days
to think about it.
** 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, August 5th, which is our final day, 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 Test#4 next week.
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, August 5th. We will do it the first
hour of class on the final day.
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 3PM 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 3pm is
the deadline to let me know if you want to replace a test.
