[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quarters may end up being weighted unequally as their overall weight is dependent on the number of assignments and total points assigned each quarter. Is that something parents are prepared to accept, without research?

If quarter 1 has 12 assignments but the remainder of the year has only the minimum mandatory 7 assignments each Quarter, assuming all assignments are equally weighted is everyone ok with the Q1 work being worth 36.36% while Q2,3,4 are only worth 21.21% for a total of 63.63% ?

How will anyone have any way of knowing how the work from each Q is factored in when assignment numbers vary from teacher to teacher and course to course? [/quote]

Within each quarter, it’s 70% summative and 30% formative so I really don’t care. Both my kids usually ace their tests all year long so we’re good. [/quote]

Ok, so the rolling gradebook also works for you![/quote]

It works for almost everyone. And it allows flexibility in deadlines for entering grades which is what teachers need.[/quote]

How does it provide additional flexibility that is unavailable in the traditional gradebook? The same number of assignments are required during the Q meaning either way teachers need to enter those grades during the same time frame. [/quote]
