bluebonnetgirl Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 For those of you using Math-U-See for high school, how are you determining the final grade for the course? What percentage do you weigh the lessons, tests, and unit tests? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondbutterandjelly Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I only record grades for tests. I average those for quarter grades, which get averaged for semester grades. (We don't take unit tests. Homework is checked and corrections are completed, but I don't "take grades" on homework.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebonnetgirl Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thank you perkybunch. Do you allow test retakes? If so how do you calculate the retake with the original test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollyhock2 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I grade 50% daily work and 50% tests. This seems to be what the local schools do here. The unit tests I just count as tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so how do you calculate the retake with the original test? That's an interesting question. Usually my dd gets an A or high B on every test. I am always around for homework questions and corrections, and I will work anything on the white board for her that she is having a problem with. So she rarely does poorly on a test. Let me think. She has flopped at least one test. I get mad, and then I make her do some extra work. What do I do about the test? Hmm. I think I just throw it out once I'm convinced she understands the material. Now in History, for instance, I do allow corrections to the test and she can earn back half the points she lost. They used to do that in regular school, so I feel comfortable with that policy. But she has to have gotten a C or worse for me to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
