shanezomom Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Ds loved biology and Zumdahl chemistry which were year-long classes with labs taught by strong teachers through co-op. This year he is working through and loving Life of Fred trigonometry and statistics on his own, and because he prob won't major in STEM, we went with Hewitt/Conceptual Physics. From Sept until last week, he read through all the sections, worked the extra problems booklet and it's the only class he has actively disliked and grumbled about. He worked quickly to get it over with. To assess his comprehension, I found a final exam online last week and ds worked through it over a couple days, showed his calculations, and then corrected the few he got wrong to make sure he understood his mistakes. He just started using his daily physics time to start Python programming which he is thrilled about. . . Can we call it a day with physics? Do I award a full credit even though he worked very quickly through it? Im not sure how to grade him in this case - he made some mistakes but knew where to go to correct himself and cement the concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKS Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'd give him a credit and an A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkT Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Looks like he completed a conceptual physics course. Too bad he didn't enjoy it. At least he knows what he won't be majoring in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
