** Optional replacement test or quiz **
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.
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 2/6
Test#3 x/12 4.5/6
Test#4 x/12 4.5/6
*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
You
will do the replacement test during regular class time, as usual. We will do it
the last hour of class.
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.
Test#2
3/6 DELETE
Replacement
test 4/6
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 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 or Quiz.”
“Hi
Allan,
I
want to replace Test#1.
Thanks,
Betty”
I
will respond.
“Ok.
Thanks.
Al”
Replacement quiz will be on simple, compound, and complex sentences.
Example replacement quiz
Write a sentence for each.
1.SVV walk
2. , but school
3. therefore park
4.because store
5.that remember
6.who lives
I will not accept late emails. Thursday at 7pm is the
deadline to let me know if you want to replace a test or quiz.
