[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The summatives are awful. Only 4-5 questions and it’s a huge percentage of your grade. There are only 2 summatives a quarter. These are not all easy questions, so the poor kids are always caught up in doing retakes. The tests are not designed appropriately. [/quote] Has anyone had success pointing out the bad format of summatives? [/quote] As a teacher my entire department has complained to our admin and the county team, but we are still mandated to give them. Our “work around” is to give them but make them count for 10 points of summative and then give the test we wanted to give and make it count for 40 points of summative or whatever. But then that’s double testing time so there are issues there too.[/quote]
