Reflection and thoughts of Re-Testing....

It IS NOT usually my policy to re-test. I think it truly encourages most students to be lazy on the first go-round. However, there are too many of you who have failed to be sufficiently responsible on this test - almost everyone of you who failed or made a D shared that you either didn't study, or you studied 20 minutes or less. THAT is not sufficient for a major test!

Therefore, I am going to offer a re-test on Friday, September 21. You may only re-test if you made less than 80. You may only earn an 80 (even if you were to score 100) on the re-test. That has been my policy for almost twenty years. If you didn't feel the urgency to study hard enough to earn an A on the first try, I will not enable you to score equally with those who studied hard and earned an A on the first test date. However, I will save you from the detrimental effects of an F.

Be ready for the re-take as soon as you arrive in class on Friday...this is your only chance to redeem yourself for poor choices where this test was concerned.

  14. I think retesting if you got a bad grade is important because if you get a bad grade you can always have a second chance to make a higher grade.
