** 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.
On Thursday,
April 18th, 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 to.
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
*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 got a low mark.
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
Thursday, April 18th. We will do it the last hour of class.
The
replacement test will be a new test, a new topic. It will be a paragraph about
one of the other short stories with quoted text.
“What
Happened During the Ice Storm”
“I
Confess”
“Dead
Man’s Path”
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 this 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.”
“Hi
Al,
I
want to replace Test#1.
Thanks,
Beverly”
I
will respond.
“Ok.
Thanks.
Allan”
I will not accept late emails. This Thursday
at 7pm is the deadline to let me know if you want to replace a test.
Scenario #1
T1 8/12
T2 9/12
T3 4/12 7.5/12
T4 7/12
Replace T3
New mark 7.5/12
Scenario #2
T1 8/12
T2 9/12
T3 7.5/12
T4 7/12 6/12
Replace T4
New mark 6/12
The replacement is somebody who messed up a test.
Test

material.
