I keep reading everyone going let them know the grading structure, let them know the grading policy, let them know this or that. What good is knowing a structure and style if you have not bean properly given the tools to approach this. Once again this takes us back to HOW DO YOU REACH THE STUDENTS. Use varying methods of approach then you find that scores will improve if you are giving them a w aya to understand it. How many here fell when their class gets bad test scores THE INSTRUCTOR has failed. I do, why because I did not reach then effectively and I am the one who needs to work on doing a better job. Anyway just my thoughs on this. Bythe way I hate taking tests. LOL
