Homework – Scoring and Grading

1. Homework – Scoring and Grading • Each HW Package contains 3 or more Sections • You SCORE each section, pass in the Package • I check your accuracy and GRADE your Package 0-10 staple Your name 1.4 1-31odd, … {18} Work Work work Work 23 xx Your name 1.3 1-25odd, … {32} Work Work work Work Your name 1.2 1-21odd, … {45} Work Work work Work 8106 Package #1 Your name 1.1 1-31odd, … {31} Work Work work Work

2. In-class exercise: (this will be handed in for extra credit)Practice written homework format • Take out a piece of paper • On the Front Side: • Put your name upper right • List the assignment 1.0 11-91odd {41} • Copy original exercise 11. • Do intermediate work • Write your answer clearly • Do 41. (then written work) • On the Other Side of the paper: • Do 91. (last exercise) • You must check all your answers with the textbook answers. Circle the correct ones, Mark 41 wrong (big X). • Assume you did 35 out of 41 correctly… GO BACK TO 1st PIECE for Scoring On top, left of your name, write 35/41 • Staple multiple sheets together and hand in (you can use both sides) • Multiple sections? Staple all together, in order. Your name 1.0 11-91odd {41} 11. t + 5 = 11 and 3t = 18 t = 11 – 5 t = 18 / 3 t = 6 t = 6 Equivalent … leave a blank line between exercises 41. 4x – 7 + 18x + 25 22x + 22 X … 91. 2 { 9 – 3 [ -2x – 4 ] } = 12x + 42 2 { 9 + 6x + 12 } = 12x + 42 2 { 6x + 21} = 12x + 42 12x + 42 = 12x + 42 All Real #s Identity

3. Your Homework Checklist • On the first page of each homework Section: • Put your Name & Assignment in the right top corner of first page • For each problem: • Write problem number and the original problem (word problems: summarize briefly) • Write down intermediate work steps – most problems will have them • Write down your answer and circle it • Suggested - Every 5 problems: • Check these 5 answers in the back of the textbook • Correct any wrong answers (if you can ) by fixing the work steps • Circle only the correct answers. • Mark any wrong or missing answers with a big X – do not circle or count as correct! • Use both front and back pages but leave a little space between problems • After working all the problems that you can, determine the SCORE: • Count the number of correct problems • Get the number of assigned problems from the assignment line {##} • Your SCORE is the ratio of correct problems to the total assigned. Example: 27 31 • Write the SCORE at the page top just left of your name • If more than one page was used for this section, Staple them together top left • When it’s time to Submit one of the 13 Homework Packages: • Staple (top left) the 3 to 5 sections together, in order • Pass in to me for Grading (0 to 10 points) based on percentage of problems done correctly

4. Some Common Mistakes • Mistakes with the first Homework Packages: • Format wrong: Score, Name & Assignment not in right corner of first page • Missing the Score (# of correct)/{# of assigned} • The Score is not accurate • Not writing down the original problem • Not circling the correct answers • Incomplete H/W: whole section missing, or too many problems missing • Messy, disorganized or cramped work • Failure to use the vertical approach, where appropriate • EOO failure, did some wrong problems (this is ok occasionally) • Practices that may be considered Cheating (Inflating your Score) • Not checking answers in back of the book • Missing work steps, when appropriate • Answer is right, but does not match work (you and I will meet to discuss) • Not clearly identifying incorrect answers (if you left them wrong): Put a BIG X over the incorrect or missing answer
