A3: HW for me is grading as a completion grade (did you do it? Y/N). If I am using something for FA- I let Ss know!

In past I have had Ss keep a notecard and list common errors on HW & assmts

I truly believe that HW adds to the divide between our Ss. Ss that have the support at home vs. those that don't.

Ss can choose what they want to do as HW, usually they will work on a project or create something else

Interesting! How does the extended time period till it's due, effect what you assign?

Shai, just curious. Do you ever have Ss take Q's as they watch and monitor progress from home?

A3 I believe HW should be graded based on completeness and not correctness if it's going to be graded at all

grading is such a tricky thing. If it is meant to reflect mastery then no “practice” should ever be counted into the grade.

I don't even grade FA. My students only get grades on SA. Makes the SA much more important.

A3. Policy is to grade. I chose 3 "key" questions to assess on following Monday from past week. Accessibility to all.

Absolutely. I use a WSQ for Ss to ask those questions. That's the best learning.

A strategy I like is having several students do the same problem on the board so I can look for common mistakes

How about if Ss are to use a chart/guide & answers are there and should be correct :)
