Optional replacement quiz and/or test **
A
few people have asked me about rewriting quizzes and or tests. Maybe you had a
bad quiz and or test or missed a quiz and/or test.
In
my classes, I offer an optional replacement quiz and/or test for anyone who
would like to do one.
Next
Wednesday, you will have an opportunity to replace one of the quizzes and/or tests
that you wrote.
Again,
this is optional. You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.
So
far we have done some 5 quizzes:
Quiz#1 X/6
Quiz#2 X/6
Quiz#3 X/6
Quiz#4 X/6
Quiz#5 X/6
You
have your marks for those.
You
may have one quiz that you were not satisfied with.
One
is one. Not two, not three. 1=1
You
choose which one you want to replace.
You
will do the replacement quiz during regular class time, as usual. We will do it
the final (25m) at the end of the class.
The
replacement quiz will be a new quiz. The replacement quiz will be a mix of all
sentence styles.
e.g.
If you want to replace your Quiz #2, the compound sentence quiz, the
replacement quiz will not just be on compound sentence; it will be on all of
the sentence styles.The replacement quiz will be six sentences, as usual- mix
of simple, compound, complex.
**The
replacement quiz will be a mix of all of the sentence styles.
Your
old mark will be replaced with the new mark. It will not be the higher of the
two marks.
Exactly
the same situation with the replacement test. It will be a paragraph on a new
topic.

quiz 3.5/6 The average for your quizzes
will go up. You’re getting closer to pass. You will feel better.
Think
carefully about if you would like to replace one of your quiz and/or test marks.
ADVICE:
If
you have pretty good marks, just leave them. Don’t bother with the replacement
quiz and /or test.
On
the other hand, if you have a really low mark somewhere or missed a quiz or
test, it would be worth doing the replacement quiz and/or test.
We will do the
replacement quiz and/or test next Wednesday.
You can choose to
write the replacement quiz and/or test.
On the test paper,
you will have to tell me which quiz and/or test you are replacing
e.g top of the paper
Replacement Quiz- replace Quiz3
Replacement Test- replace Test2
**The replacement
quiz will be a mix of all three sentence types.
The replacement
test will be a new topic.
