Subject: low grades in the translation bagrut exam
From: "Deborah Gazit" <dgazit@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
I remember a while back someone wrote in surprised at the low grades
his students had received this year in their Bagrut translation
examination. At the time I had no idea what grades my students had
received so I didn't respond. I had thought the test a very good one
and they had all felt that they had managed it well. HOWEVER, today I
was at school and I saw some of my students grades and I was
shocked.The grades were all below 80. In the past I have had almost no
grades below 80 in this class. I am not considered an easy grader and
was twice admonished by the ministry (in the old days when we used to
grade the tests ourselves) that my grading was a bit harsh. Last year
the grades I gave them were all within a few points of their test grade
and the average was in the upper 80's. This year's class was not
significantly better or worse than any of the past classes I have
taught
I would like someone who is in charge of the translation grading to
respond to this sudden downturn in grades. I would also be interested
in hearing from other teachers of translation regarding the grades
their students received this year.
