Reply To: Redoing Test/Quiz Policy

[Betty Yoder]

I thought of this discussion a week ago when an excellent student, who had gotten a 100% on the two previous math tests surprised us both (became I’m guessing simply overly confident and careless) by getting a pretty low score on this third test.  Since the grade really did not reflect his regular daily performance nor his level of understanding, I did have him redo (a form B) and averaged the tests.  I guess that is still one way I try to include the (b) Jonas referred to in his reply.  It feels right to me to have how the student applies the learned knowledge count as part of the final outcome.
