Isn't every assessment formative? (except, maybe, the very last one?). One reason I quit doing "makeups" and "retakes" and turned every assessment into an opportunity to improve. Not happy about that quiz? No problem, the next test can replace it. Test performance not up to par? ... No Biggie, the term exam can replace that. The only grade that is final is the one they force me to submit at the end of a term, but until that moment I will bend over backwards to give you a 2nd, 3rd, 4th... chance. (The secret is... I quit caring about the grade in the gradebook a long time ago, I care about the learning ... Anything I can to reward learning .. WHENEVER it happens, I will do that. That grade is an arbitrary number, based on many things that have NOTHING to do with learning. I never let that number stop the learning in my classes). #iteachmath #mtbos #maths #math

@techknowmath I agree in principle, but sometimes in practice it’s hard to let everyone save everything for the end or make more work for us when our classes are bigger than they should be and there’s only so many hours in the day. How do you manage that?

@TeachingSolved I don't so more work. I don't do retakes. I just replace the grade
