The good news?
The Science department has decided to allow the retaking of benchmarks! This means that those of you who did poorly on the first benchmark will have another opportunity to take it!
This chance will come on WEDNESDAY!!! (with the exception of HR 302 who were not notified of this in class yet - they have a lab on Friday and can take it then). I can only give you one day for this, so you may chose to retake the open ended, multiple choice or both sections during your one period.
The bad news?
The next benchmark will be taken on Friday and Monday - yes - starting this week! The open ended questions will be taken on Friday so I can start grading them - the multiple choice on Monday. All grades have to be in the system by Tuesday November 16th and I will need some time to grade the 2 open ended questions for each of my 100+ students.
This means that tomorrow we will be reviewing for the 2nd Benchmark tests. I will post the study guides for the first benchmarks up later today - and the study guides for the 2nd test will be posted by tomorrow.
So to reiterate:
Tonight's homework: study for retake of first benchmark
Tuesday in class: study guide for 2nd benchmark
Tuesday homework: study for retake of 1st benchmark and start studying for 2nd benchmark
Wednesday in class: retake 1st benchmark
Wednesday homework: study for 2nd benchmark
Friday in class: Open ended questions for benchmark #2
Friday homework: study for multiple choice questions for benchmark #2
Monday in class: multiple choice questions for benchmark #2
THESE 2 TESTS WILL BE 30% OF YOUR MARKING PERIOD GRADES!!!! FOR MOST OF YOU, THIS WILL BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PASSING AND FAILING!!!!
