** 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 Thursday, November 2nd, 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 four tests:
Test#1 x/6 x/12 doubled e.g. 4/6=8/12
Test#2 x/6 x/12 5/6
Test#3 x/12 2/6
Test#4 x/12 3.5/6
*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
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 Tuesday by 7PM 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#3.
Thanks,
Betty”
I will respond.
“Ok. Thanks.
Al”
I will not accept
late emails. Tuesday at 7pm is the deadline to let me know if you want to
replace a test.
EXTRA-
SPECIAL SKILL
Also, I
will teach people how to use a microphone.

a mic for your presentation.
