I recently gave an exam in my 300-level Brain and Behavior class, and my students bombed it. I mean really bombed it--every last one of them. For various reasons that don't matter, I do take the blame for it. I have been distracted and not doing a good job of teaching the course. That doesn't excuse the students from reading the text and knowing the material; it's basic but important stuff [...]
I would probably make an offer like this: Incorporate some of the first-test material into each of the subsequent tests. Tell them that anyone who does better on those tests than on the first test will have his or her grade calculated without the first-test score included. --David Epstein [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
