Midterm Recommendations
We are at the halfway point in the term.
Interim- midterm, halfway point in the term
The midterm recommendaion is a snapshot of how you are doing at
the moment.
Registration for Quarter 4 courses (April-June) will begin Monday,
March 27th. You will be able register via the South Hill website as usual. You
will be mailed a link soon.
In order to register, you need a recommendation from your teacher,
me. On Friday, I will give you an interim recommendation for which English class
you should register for in Quarter 4. I will put your recommendation into a
spreadsheet for the advisors.
The interim recommendation will be based on the quizzes and tests you
have done so far this term. Also, I will give you a spoken mark out of 10 based
on how much speaking you do in class. Plus there are a few points for
submitting HW.
REMINDER:
Tests are worth double what quizzes are worth.
OPTIONS- Stay or move up
EF6- EF6 OR Lit10/Comp10/EF7 level
EF7- EF7 OR Eng 11
The South Hill English department strongly recommends that
students who are marginally passing (50-60%) not advance to the next level.
Therefore, the minimum average required to receive a
recommendation for early registration for the next level is 60%. This is to allow
stronger students first shot at registering. This is also to dissuade students
who are not ready from registering in a class that may be too high for them.
We want the strongest students to have an opportunity to register
first.
If you’re below, you will have wait a while to register for Quarter
4.
NOTE: 66% is the reasonable cutoff point for early registraton
starting tomorrow.
However, the final passmark for courses in BC is 50%. That is your
final mark on the last day.
You can move up to the next level with 50% at the end of the
course, but I don’t think that is strong enough. You have to get better at your
English.
IMPORTANT: The minimum average for a recommendation
to register early for the next level is 65%.
The final
passmark is 50%.
We have four weeks left in our course. You can change your mark
significantly depending on the quizzes and tests yet to come. We have about 3 quizzes
and 3-4 tests yet to come this term. Also, we will likely have an essay. Plus
the in-class spoken mark and the HW pts.
You can bring your mark up.
Also, you can bring your mark down.
This is the halfway point.
REMINDER: You will have an opportunity to replace one of your quiz
marks in the final week of the course. You will have an opportunity to replace
one of your test marks in final week of the course.
SCENARIO #1
69%
65%+ = OK for the next level
SCENARIO #2
61%
65%- = this is good level to work at, stay
SCENARIO #3
37%
Suggets some challenges that must be overcome.
You can figure out roughly your own average right now, except for
spoken. Add up your quizzes and tests. Guess at your spoken mark.
We will talk on Friday. We will have one-on-one meetings.
