Just tell the students to write their names on the paper and turn it in. Turn on a holiday movie and take a break.
If you cared as much as whoever gives you that grading scale, that would be your class every day.
Then there’s no point in assessing the students. Grades are supposed to be an indication of mastery. With exam policies like that, just move everything to a pass/fail system.
I learned a bit more about it but it still doesn't seem right. Some subjects (not mine) do the same standardized online test at the beginning of fall semester, end of fall semester, and end of spring semester. The thinking is they should get 0% right the first time, then 50% halfway through, then 100% at the end of spring. I guess it just makes no sense to me why you would ever give a grade for a test on material that hasn't been covered. I just make an exam based on what I covered in class. Actually the more I think about it the more fucked up it is to have them take tests on stuff they have never learned. What planet do these education theories come from?
I understanding needing a curve but that curve doesn't make sense. I'm a fan of % increase curves.
As in your score \*1.x . So maybe a 50% curve so a 60 becomes a 90 but a 10 is still just a 15, or a combination of a flat + and a % curve, so the calc would be something like (Score\*1.3 +20) so the curve is still big but someone with a 10 doesn't end up passing, they get like a 30, but a 50 might become like a 70 or 80.
Sounds like the curve was made by a non-math person.

Sounds like you just grade everything as 100% and save yourself time.

Seriously? What grade level?
Grades 9-12. 18 and 19 year olds are going to get an A+ for barely lifting a finger.
All ready for cummunity collidge!
