Re: grades, assessments, etc.



Parting words at the end of the last class:
Well, we almost finished the required material - the rest will be covered
on the final exam!

(Just a joke!) (Does it happen, unspoken?)

You bring up a good point. The objectives that I test are a subset of the
objectives that I teach (i.e. time does not permit every objective to be
tested on). In other words, everything on the test is covered in
class. However, everything covered in class is not necessarily on the
test.

But should I never teach something I won't test on. It
seems to me there are subtopic which have some
importance, but I would'nt test on it just to keep the time
of testing down.
