FIX 12

Questions to Ponder

When we place zeros in a grade, does that reflect a students level of achievement or the effort put forth?

How else could we report a zero to a parent? Could students be involved in creating this process?

Since homework is only 5% of my grade, a zero doesn't have much impact. In mistar, I actually just leave the grade blank so it isn't a zero. I do have the system treat the grade as a zero though. I guess I am not ready to make this transition yet. One of the aspect of traditional grading that I am having trouble letting go.
