[quote=Anonymous]It really depends. She may have designed the quiz to be hard to have it be a wakeup call for the kids. I had a chemistry teacher who did this. You tended to flunk all of his quizzes, but he also told us in the beginning -- "your final grade for the year will be your grade on the statewide exam (these were NY Regents). So don't sweat it. I'm teaching you college chemistry like you'd get it in college. I want you to think, not freak over test scores". And sure enough, by the time we got to the end of the year and took the Regents exam, we all passed with flying colors and got our As for the year. We hadn't really realized that he had taught us the HS curriculum along the way -- when I took the Regents I remember looking at each problem thinking "this is the preliminary part of the problem -- where's the real question?" He was an odd duck, but I still think of him with fondness and remembered actually learning something in his class.[/quote]
