[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try to do a little research yourself.  And also try to use a little bit of common sense.  Of course your grade on the genetics test in 4th quarter isn't going to replace your grade on photosynthesis in the 1st quarter.  Those are different sets of information/skills.  You can't ignore the first 8 months of school and then ace the last month to finish with an A.  Doesn't work like that.

DP Thanks for the links.

The grading-design post is interesting. It says:
"Increased opportunities for students to show mastery is the primary benefit of a rolling gradebook. Teachers/teams should consider their late work and retake policies to leverage this grading plan."

The last sentence sounds like they're advising teachers to relax deadlines and/or penalties for late submissions. Is that right?  If so, that seems to back up the concerns voiced by prior PPs about rolling grade book allowing kids to procrastinate & delay their work for a while.[/quote]
