Continuing with this grading quest, students took a pop quiz about certain aspects of the Sun. Flubaroo was set up to immediately send students the results (incorrect answers).Students were able to take the quiz as many times as they wanted until 2:40 the next day; the highest score would be put in the grade book.
Though this is not an exact experiment, the data from this shows me that when students retook (is that a word?) the quiz at least 5 times, they lowered their chances of scoring in the 0-59% (F) range.
There are many variables that could affect this- available resources, computer access, understanding, depth of knowledge, etc. And grading scales are not perfect, but is 5 opportunities to practice a skill or concept the magic number?
