If it was me.. I’d extend some grace on this one. Maybe even throw the scores out completely. The kids can’t control the shutdowns and you probably will get worse score on retakes due to the time between the material being taught and the test.
I wouldn’t even do retakes. I use articles on CK-12 as their “extra work” to qualify for retakes, and it would just be reading articles and answering questions. Not actual corrections or retakes due to so many unknowns
With this weird situation, curve to the kid. Those 100% stay 100%. If the kid has been a D student, and he or she got 50% give him a D. The class that had less time should probably be the one you focus on curving first. I don’t like curving but I’ve been messing with the how many right/how many completed. Minus 10 to 15 percent for how many left blank. Did they know what they tried or just guess? Those who didn’t complete the test do not get 100 but can get a 90 if you were impressed with the accuracy the student gave.
Or so I grade it so they have feedback, but not count it in their actual grades?
OR!! I can place the test in the gradebook. Stage kids can see their grades. But instead of hurting them I can do a 5/0 bonus point system based on their letter grades. An A gets 5 bonus points. B gets 4 bonus points, etc etc. that way borderline kids could still get to the next grade based on their choices.
Don’t blame you - I’m an Intervention Specialist. My kids struggle face to face. Trying to figure out the best way to get them the content online
Honestly, do what you said you would do, grade on the curve. Then offer extra credit. I think any child and parent would find this reasonable.
If you don’t care that much about the score being entered into the grade book then throw out the score but give students the tests back with the feedback. If you care about them truly learning the content, add the most commonly questions missed from the test over the next few weeks on your online assignments to ensure that students are still being exposed to the material.
I told them that the test would be curved. Which is something that I never do because it’s something that I don’t necessarily believe in unless I made a physical mistake on the test.
Some kids got 100% even before the curve. Some kids got much less than that. So what is my next step?
Do I curve only and say tough crap for those who struggled even though we tested earlier than planned. Do I give an extra credit option for those who want it but not curve? Or I do both?
Maybe not count it as a test grade. Like classwork grade instead.
Oh. Ok. Then I would bring the lowest only up by like 10 points and still count it. They put the effort into the test.
How much notice of the date change did you give? If you sprung it on them the day of, be most generous, allow ample retakes, or try again in day 2 returning after a day of review and retracting. If they knew about the change more than 24 hours in advance, then I would show a lot less mercy.
My issue is I had a test schedule, school was in session, 20-25% kids were gone, and bonus....it was the last day of the grading period with grades still due Monday in spite of the shut down.
Here’s another idea... the material you didn’t cover as thoroughly in some of the classes, for those classes could you make some of the actual?s about that material extra credit??
Curve/grade each class differently based on what they were forced to miss. Realize even non-anxious kids were anxious on Friday.
Then make the test worth less points than it would normally have been... more equal to a quiz?? (For example worth 50 instead of 100 points).
And then MOVE ON. You can’t retest, they will know the material even less when you return.
Adding a bonus assignment in some way to additionally help would be a lovely gesture.
Do what you can, don’t beat yourself up as many of us sometimes do.
The best of luck!!
