a. The project is only a whole 30% of ONE of the modules (as of next year's
12th graders). You can choose which one it goes with. So basically you can
figure out where it would do less damage having a zero of 30%.
B. This year it was only one of many quizzes, class and home work, so its
weight wasn't that much.
C. In general, I feel, and to some extent so does the administration at my
school, that a big part of what we do is educate. If a kid doesn't fulfill
his duties as a pupil - and I can prove it by showing all his zeros! - he
should suffer the consequences by receiving a low year grade. The
administration asks whether I think I could add a few points, but if I
refuse they leave the grade as is.
