Portfolio1 Grades

Portfolio1 Grades
Good Evening,

Here you may find a file with the grades of portfolio1, some of you forgot to write the information about the activities in the Workbook, Notebook and Glossary, so you may see some blank spaces in your grades. We'll do clarifications tomorrow.

Lab report.

In this post you will find a digital example of the practice you performed last week (february 4, 2015).

Please notice this is not a fill in format, you must modify it according to the description of lab practices that appears in your portfolio agreement (the first post of this blog). I include a copy of the information related:



Lab-report is delivered by team, team members names must appear in the front page specifying who worked in each section of the report, students must be aware that for following practices they cannot work in the same section. For grading the activity the student must present the Workbook Work report section filled-in (one per team member filled handwritten) and a printed (not handwritten) Lab-report of the practice. Every piece of paper must be stapled together, and into a blue folder. If the phase includes more than one lab session then reports must be presented separately for each practice. The Lab-report must include the following sections:

  • Front page (Team members, Practice title, Group, School, Teacher’s name).
  • Introduction
  • Hypothesis
  • Materials
  • Experimental procedure
  • Results (this is related to the Work report section in the book)
  • Discussion (of the obtained results)
  • Conclusion (of the obtained results)
  • Personal opinions.

Frankenstein works (printed with handwritten parts) would be graded over 70% of the grade.

Professor Assitant Test (PAT) Grades

PATGrades

Greetings,

In here you may find the file with the results of the PAT Test you performed during the first and second week of class. Remember this may be considered as a diagnose test, since the topics covered are the ones we will be seeing during the semester, by the end of which I expect for you all to be able to answer problems like the ones included in the test. The test will allow me to know in which topics we may need to focus, as well as how your math skills for the class are and whether to develop more activities for you to success the topics.

Thank you for your comprehension,

Mrs. Angulo

Nota aclaratoria para los padres:

Como el mensaje lo indica, el contenido del examen que presentaron sus hijos corresponde al del semestre que estan por cursar. La finalidad de este examen es detectar aquellos estudiantes que han desarrollado el conocimiento suficiente para acreditar la materia previo al semestre. Además me permite identificar aspectos  relevantes de las habilidades matemáticas que los estudiantes ya han desarrollado y si es necesario enfocarse en alguna en específico.

Considerando todo lo anterior, la calificación obtenida no tiene repercusión alguna en la calificación final de la materia, excepto por aquellos estudiantes que obtengan una calificación igual o superior a 90, a quienes se les ofreció la oportunidad de participar como asistentes de profesor.

Gracias de antemano por su comprensión,

Abril Angulo
