** 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.

 

On the second last class, 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 2 quizzes:

 

Quiz#1        X/6

Quiz#2        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.

 

EF56 **No replacement opportunity for the essay

 

 

EXAMPLE SCENARIO #1

EXAMPLE SCENARIO #2

EXAMPLE SCENARIO #3

Q1 2/6

Q2 1.5/6

Q3 0/6 3.5/6

Q4 0/6

Q5 2/5

 

Q3 or Q4- you decide Q3

Replacement 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.
