Assessing Ch. 10

Abstract:
This chapter is devoted to setting up a system for teachers to be able to allow students to redo assignments. This privilege is often subjectively given by teachers and can end up being very unfair to students, and risky to teachers. Thus, this chapter offers some advice to teachers on how to solve this problem and avoid all of the consequential negativity. Involving parents in the "redo" and changing the assignment the second time around are two of the major things to consider. It also suggests that teachers have students complete a time-line for completion of the assignment, as well as have them hand in the original assignment for consideration in the overall grading process.

Reflection:
As a group, we all agreed that this chapter offers invaluable advice which could potentially keep us from being taken advantage of by students and teachers. We feel that the more comfortable we can become with our own beliefs and ideas about our own systems, the more prepared we will be to handle situations like this. We all seem agree with this chapter about making rules (about redoing work) clear from the beginning so that there can be no conflicts about it. It has always been obvious that the teachers who have taken time to make their rules and systems are the ones who firmly believe in them and end up having no issues surrounding them.
