On Monday, November 2, during the noon hour, students are invited to come to the Physics Lab to write a Second Chance assignment. Since there are no exam rewrites in this class, this is your opportunity to have a mark of your choice eliminated from the Report Card. I WILL ONLY ELIMINATE MARKS YOU EARNED AND NOT INCOMPLETES!
What do you need to do?
• You need to arrive at 12:15.
• You need to complete the Open Book Second Chance Assignment
• You must work on your own
• You must score at least 80% on the assignment
This is a great opportunity to improve your Report Card, mark but as you can see, it will require a strong effort from you. Yes, the Assignment is Open Book, but if you are not prepared, 80% will be difficult to reach. Come prepared and you will be on your way to a much better mark!
For Physics 30, if your goal is to eliminate your Kinematics Exam mark, I am only able to drop its weighting by half. Since we have only written one exam I cannot remove the mark completely from your report card. But at this time the one exam is creating 58% of your mark, so a weighting of half could be a significant upgrade if it is dragging down your average. What I will officially do is add a second exam mark that is the same as your overall mark on the Hand-In Work portion of your progress report. This new mark will be weighted the same as your Kinematics Exam mark.
If you choose to use this opportunity, make sure that you are prepared because you will need to show that you understand these concepts enough (80%) to deserve the mark improvement.
