My students receive number grades (averages). I have begun to replace one quiz grade per unit with the grade the student made on the unit test (if it is higher). A part of me feels that they need to be held accountable for each assessment. A doctor who is performing brain surgery doesn't get a redo. Is my grade replacement system okay, or do I need to find a better solution? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) You may want to consider giving the graded assessment back to students, without reteaching anything, and allowing them to correct mistakes for partial credit. I do understand this is additional work on the teacher's part however, many students are able to see that they rushed through the assessment during their first try and are able to do significantly better when given the opportunity.
