About 300 students took me up on my offer of an optional take-home quiz, even though they could lose points - and though nobody lost points on it, only 20% of my students are passing. Oy! It's definitely not a good thing, but hopefully it will motivate them to study more. My tests need to improve as well, but I feel like I'm not testing them on learning when I give them questions they can answer. But I suppose education is not about being right all the time.
Hopefully, I'll be up to 35% by the end of the next trimester.
Peace
John
