Questions from Class

On Late Assignments:
While we cannot deduct marks for late assignments, are we able include work habits in our grading criteria where handing in assignments on time would be taken into account?


On Testing Practices:
How effective is having multiple versions of a test within a single classroom at reducing the amount of cheating? Will students find a way to cheat no matter what you do?

Is having a test that takes students the entire block to complete too stressful for students? Or is it better to have a shorter test taking maybe half the block leaving the remainder of the class for other activities?


On Assessment:
Should students who know their material be required to complete all homework assignments? Would it be good to make homework optional and have it considered more as practice questions rather than a form of assessment? Or would that lead to many who need the practice not doing the work because of the lack of extrinsic motivation?

Can students still find value in homework assignments if we don't mark it? Or should we be marking all homework assignments?

Should effort and student ability be considered when marking tests?
