I would like to straighten out a few points.
My initial response to the summer modular exams was not very negative because
this was the first time the new format was used.
I did stress, however that, in the light of the fact that there were several
ambiguous questions, the graders would have to be flexible about the answers
and accept different possibilities wherever called for. This, however,
apparently did not occur and several disgruntled graders were forced to
discount "correct" possibilities against their will.
This is my main objection and I would like the grades to be re-assessed THIS
YEAR. Why should the students have to suffer?
In addition, we need more real and effective preparation when changes are made.
Projects were jammed down our throats and not enough time was given to
preparing teachers for the new expectations etc. I also believe very firmly
that teachers should have more say about what and how they teach and assess
students.
Once again, anyone who wants to see the letter and add their names to it are
requested to contact me as soon as possible.
My email does not appear on the list, so my telephone number is: 04 8346605.
My email is golomb(strudel)netvision.net.il. I wrote the word strudel but
obviously you must substitute the word (strudel) with @. Quite rightly so, the
etni list blocks viewers from seeing email addresses unless the writer wishes
everyone to see his address.
