Subject: grading the new modular exams
From: "Dena Livne" <livne690@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
I would like to thank the Ministry for giving us more information on
how to grade the new modular exams. However, I do have a couple of
questions.
The instructions regarding how to take off points for too much or
irrelevant information are detailed. But what do we take off for
incomplete information - answers which are partially correct but do not
contain all the details needed. For example, I have taught my students
that when answering a question regarding a process, like a change from
one situation to another, they must state both sides of the equation -
what was before and how things are now different. So what do we take
off if they only say how things have changed and not what they were in
the beginning?
In the old bagrut, there were instructions on how to grade questions
that have two parts (not two items but two interrelated parts) like
True / False (or multiple choice) and then a quote to support.
Do we now treat this as two separate items? Or if they get one part
wrong, is the other part also wrong?
I would very much appreciate an answer as we will soon be giving the
students their magen and we are still "guessing" how to deal with such
problems.
