* Optional replacement test or quiz**
A few people have asked me about rewriting tests or quizzes.
Maybe they had a bad test or a missed test or quiz.
In my classes, I offer an optional replacement test or quiz
for anyone who would like to do that.
Next week, you will have an opportunity to replace one of
the tests or quizzes that you wrote. This is optional. You don’t have to do it
if you don’t want.
As of today, we have done four tests:
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
TODAY
Test#5 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 or quiz that you were not satisfied
with. Perhaps you missed a test or quiz and did not make it up. You can replace
one of those tests or quizzes. You choose which one.
One is one. Not two, not three. 1=1
You will do the replacement test or quiz during regular
class time, as usual. It will be next week. We will do it the last hour of
class.
The replacement test will be a new test or quiz, a new topic.
The replacement test will be a paragraph, as usual. The replacement quiz will
12 sentences.
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 Monday at 5PM which test you would like to
replace, if you would like to replace one.
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. Monday at 5pm is the deadline
to let me know if you want to replace a test.
This is the same deal as the optional replacement quiz.
