Thursday, 9/11:  Topic 2 Test

Friday, 9/12:  Begin Module 2:  Constant Rate of Change

 

I did consider testing on Friday, However, with the Football game  and other activities on Thursday night, I figured that Friday was not a good day to test, and with a a teacher work day on Monday, 9/15,  I didn’t want to move the test back.  Thursday is the best day to test.

Now, some important information, if you please.

1. Our first test was on Friday.  You should see that in Skyward as “T1”.

2.  This is a raw score.  Since it was an online DMAC test, the computer scoring sometimes scores a bit more robotic than I would.  While I have yet to do so, I do plan on looking through results and possibly adding some partial credit.

3.  If your student did not score above 70, he or she can attend tutorials and, when I feel that there has been sufficient remediation, I will allow a test boost (basically a short, quiz-like assessment) that can get their grade up to a 70.

4.  Unfortunately, I have morning cafeteria duty this week, so I cannot remediate before school.  However, I will be available after school daily.  I will be available before school next week.

5.  The deadline for remediation and test boosts for this test will be Thursday, 9/11.

6.  Our TOPIC 2 Test is tentatively scheduled for 9/11, and we will begin the remediation/test boost cycle for that test.
