@cag60093 What do your kids use to review for a midterm or final? We get study guides!!! If colleges want to know why kids don’t know how to study or take notes, study guides would be why! There were so many kids who never took notes in class with my D1, they didn’t need to- you always got a study guide.
The problem of not seeing your test or your test being graded incorrectly is going up as we no longer have text books or paper tests and teachers are relying more on the internet. Who is actually vetting these tests? On numerous occasions my D1 would tell me tests were “keyed” in wrong and grades were being changed. The kids rarely saw these tests again, so how do we know that there aren’t more mistakes- or points being added that weren’t earned??
D2 showed me a test last night that was on her Google Classroom- the test was pulled from the wrong unit, a unit they haven’t covered yet! D1, in college now, has all of her tests online. Most can be taken from the comfort of her dorm room! She has already had a test not graded right! I’m pretty sure this one came from the textbook company- again is the professor even vetting this stuff?
With that being said, I am noticing a bit of a change with D2- more things being given back and reviewed, making kids take notes, so maybe she will have a better experience than D1.
