[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I am excited by the 5 day blackout period at the end of each quarter. I am worried that the 50% rule seems murkier than ever —regardless of product or accuracy is wild. That that mean Larla can draw 5 misleading doodles about Westward Expansion and get 12.5 points for a 25 point essay? [/quote] The points don’t matter in the end. The grade matters. It’s just a compressed scale. Just think of it as, on every task, the student is only graded in their worst half of the work, and the scale is 20% D, 40% C, 60% B, 80% A. [/quote] Please stop trying to explain math to people who think they learned better in the 80s and 90s lol Seriously though, they are not interested in understanding why this actually makes sense. They just think it's a particulation trophy and are happy imagining they know better. [/quote]
