Subject: matkonet
Dear Teachers:
In subjects (such as History, Biology, etc.) in which students are
tested piecemeal during the year and then tested at the end of the year
on all the material (in a "matkonet" exam), it makes sense to give that
exam more weight - especially if the student does well in it.
In English, where every "unseen" or "writing" given during the year is
just as much a reflection of the student's knowledge as another, it
doesn't make sense to give more weight to a special "matkonet" exam at
the end of the year.
We give exams throughout the year and base our yearly grade (tsiun
shnati) on that - as well as giving 30% to lit, book project, and a few
points added or subtracted for attendence and homework.
Yours,
Sharon Tzur
