It probably also involves extra work.  We have Unit / Ch. tests for accountability and to check for comprehension.  I'm all for dropping the worst grade or offering a retest :-)

Chapter unit tests is to assess the learning result of the whole unit not only one lesson. ]]> 2021-10-21 23:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/chrismccreddin/6ave58jnp06v8v1e/wish/1834876081 https://padlet.com/chrismccreddin/6ave58jnp06v8v1e/wish/1834876644 No retake policy can be used to make sure the students give forth their best effort the first time. Unit tests are used to gauge student retention and ability to apply what they have learned in the unit
