[quote=Anonymous]How common is it for one bad quiz grade to bring a quarterly grade down by 8-10 points? This is not a messing up on a final exam but the case of poor performance on a small ( 5 question or less multiple choice quiz as a class "warm up"). Our school has 3 categories of grades, and what they think are clear distinctions. However, they only weighs them 2 different ways (2 types are weighted at 45%, other at 10%). This results in longer term projects counting the same as a small quiz. Running into this issue with our 7th grader, success and hardwork on assignments been unraveled by not knowing the answer to ONE multiple choice question. Is this the norm or unique to our school/our district?[/quote]
