**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Ricky asked: I have been looking through the NBA handbook , and I have found the way to calculate the yearly grade (Magen) for Module A . Is it still valid or has it been changed ? (I don't have the revised handbook). And Gail responded that the revised handbook is on ETNI. However, I have the revised handbook here, and I don't believe it mentions that for this year and next, the calculations for the magen grade are NOT as in the handbook (a later revision than the revised handbook). According to a directive from Judy Steiner, this year and next (11th this year, 11th and 12th next year), we are supposed to give the magen grade as follows: 20% - literature and book reports 80% - everything else Projects can be included in the 80%, but as you wish and not according to the calculations in the handbook. Of course, you still need to give a separate magen grade for each module. I just spent some time on the phone with someone yesterday explaining all this, so if anyone still finds it unclear, you're welcome to contact me. It's actually not even a big deal to figure out the three grades at this point. All the best, Rivka --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!
