Reassessing

You may ask to re-assess a standard to improve your grade. The following rules apply to reassessments.
 
  1. You may only reassess a standard where your performance is deficient or developing.
  2. You may only request one reassessment per class per day.
  3. Reassessments may only be requested after the chapter or unit test.
  4. You must provide evidence of studying or other valid extra work that would justify possibly improved performance relative to the previous assessments.
  5. You must have another student assess you on the standard and certify you are ready to assess with me.
  6. A reassessment form must be completely filled out and approved by Mr. Joshi
  7. Reassessments only apply to the current semester - they can't improve grades for previous semesters.
  8. Reassessments can be done before school, during class, and during lunch at Mr. Joshi's convenience.

In math classes, work builds on previous standards. If you have evidence of an earlier standard being met in the course of subsequent work, you may attach that work as evidence. For example, successfully executing the chain rule requires mastery of simple derivatives. If you are deficient in simple derivatives, but subsequently test as competent in using the chain rule, you can ask that your assessment in simple derivatives be re-evaluated, based on your work for the chain rule. In these circumstances, your subsequent work must be competent or better to get credit for the earlier standard.

Assessments will be handled on a first-come, first-served bases at my convenience. Note, that I get especially busy near the end of the quarter and semester, as grades come due. I simply may not have time to reassess you as the end of the quarter and semester approach, so you should reassess ealier than later. Don't wait until the last minute!
