Wednesday

We took our first test today. Yesterday I begged the students to write down any questions or answers that they didn't know. It is clear which students did that and which did not. Some did very well, others did not.

However, there is an escape from a poor grade. Students will be allowed to take their tests home tomorrow. Then, for every question that they missed, they must write a complete sentence with the correct answer. They will receive half of the ponts they missed and that will be added to their score. If the paper is returned without complete sentences, they will receive no points. If the answers are wrong, they will receive no points. This plan enables the student to learn the material he did not get at first and to improve their score. This paper will be due on Monday - no excuses.
