to SEMESTER 2
FINAL EXAM results left me with mixed
feelings and anxiety about SEM
2
What did I learn from the FINAL EXAM?
• GROUP A
Students who studied hard and their
FINAL EXAM score is
much higher than their SEM 1 Test average!
• GROUP B
Students who studied very little or not at all and their FINAL EXAM ruined their chances to get a better grade
Sadly,
there were no winners in either group!
QUESTION(s)
• What is the weight of Tests
in this class?
• How many tests did we take in SEM 1?
• So, how much of your grade is effected by each test we took in SEM 1?
• What is the weight of the final exam again????
Lesson learned:
• If you were able to earn at least 75% on the final exam, you can earn even a higher score on EVERY test we take during the SEMESTER!
All you have to do is study JUST ONE TOPIC!
• If you consistently prepare for tests, you will not have to worry as much about the final exam – it’s just one more test to confirm your grade.
Where do we go from here?
• We MUST prepare for each Test and Quiz the same way we did for our final exam.
• We MUST complete ALL OTL assignments to practice our skills throughout the SEMESTER ??
GRRR, We MUST do our OTL now?? Hm,
Who’s gonna
make me?
My mommy will !
NEW OTL POLICY for SEM 2
• OTL completion is MANDATORY
• Intention is not to penalize anyone for wrong answers;
• However, you MUST be ready to justify your answer (correct or wrong!)
• At the end of the semester your OTL completion will be + 3% or -3% from your class average score.
How will this work?
• OTL will be assigned in each class (no change here!)
• During warm-up completion is checked. ALL problems MUST BE completed to receive a check!!! (Receive or )
• During OTL review, students with a check are asked to explain answers. If explanation can not be provided, the check turns into a zero!
At the end of the Quarter:
• There will be 17 OTL’s assigned in Q1 of SEM 2.
-3% -2% -1% 0% +1% +2% +3%
<5 6-7 8-9 10-11 12-13 14-15 16-17
If you are absent EXCUSED!!! , it
is your responsibility to see Mrs.
G to have your OTL checked
during lunch or after school.
I see much higher scores in SEM 2 and a I see Mrs. G smile more when she grades tests
and Quizzes.
However, fortune telling is not an exact science, sometimes I
am wrong
