Assessment+2+revision+instructions

As mentioned in class, you will have two options for revising your work on Assessment 2: either an written revision or an oral revision. Please read the instructions below carefully regarding each kind of revision. You will be asked to commit to one or the other kind of revision on Tuesday, April 26.

Written Revisions
Written revisions will follow the same guidelines and rules as the written revisions for Assessment 1. Those guidelines are posted here. Written revisions will be due in class on Friday, April 29. Note that you must still return both the original and the revision on Friday.

Oral Revisions
If you choose to do an oral revision, you will be asked to return your original Assessment 2 and schedule a 15-minute appointment during the professor's office hours (or outside office hours, if no office hours work). Prior to your 15-minute session, I will go through your Assessment and create a number (to be determined) of NEW problems for you to work on that hit at the most common and/or important errors made on your Assessment. These will not all be straight calculation problems -- there may be some of those, but there will also be a healthy dose of problems in context, similar to the last 3-4 problems on the assessment. During your 15-minute session you will be asked to solve these problems in real time at the whiteboard in my office. You will be allowed to have your book and notes with you, but no technology other than a graphing calculator is allowed. You will be allowed to ask for help or hints during the session, but full credit will be given only for solutions that are put on the board with minimal outside assistance.

Based on the outcome of your 15-minute problem solving session, you will be awarded up to 50% of the points you lost on the first take of Assessment 2. A more exact rubric for scoring will be in this space soon.

No makeup sessions for oral revisions will be allowed. If you do not show up for your appointment, you will receive on credit. If you are late, the appointment will end at the same time as scheduled.
