[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this permissible at the high school level when it involves free response answers? Seems like pure laziness on the teacher’s part.[/quote]
It’s not laziness. It can be a great strategy in a fast paced AP course where students need to practice certain types of FRQs, but there’s no way the teacher could provide detailed individual comments in a timely fashion. I do this once per unit on a retakable FRQ a few days before the unit test (which includes FRQs.) Students have 15 min at the end of class to complete and only put ID on. Following day I distribute a different section’s FRQs and red pens and go point by point over the rubric with full explanations. Students are sooo focused, trying to decide if a point is earned, writing feedback, and trying to remember what they wrote. I collect and record the scores, and will glance through to verify high scores. But since they are retakable and most scores are lower than a B, the kids all retake. It’s quicker to grade the mostly correct retakes myself.

My goal is for students to have completed correctly 10-12 released FRQs across the different types. My class averages on FRQs is 1-2 points higher than national average. [/quote]
