Day 32- Friday

Why should I revise my Unit I Assessment?
- You want to be the best student possible, attain the necessary skills, and you want to grow educationally
 OR
You are motivated by numbers and your grades:

Missing- Student went from a 90% to a 34% (-56 points) simply by not doing the assignment

Revision of the 2 paragraphs (progress/quiz): 4.5/18 (F) to a 11/18 (D) TOTAL SEMESTER GRADE went up 8 points

Revision of the 3 changes (product/test): 4/15 (F) to a 10/15 (D) TOTAL SEMESTER GRADE went up 21 points
WHY SUCH AN IMPACT?

1 product/test grade- worth 50% of your grade
