Assigning Grades in a Testing Strategies Class
I am currently using Khan Academy in a Testing Strategies class for mainly juniors who are required to take the SAT as a state test. Each week I assign a variety of Khan Academy skills in math, grammar and reading. Students may retake the five skill questions three times. However, I am having trouble assigning grades because I have so many students who have figured out how to "cheat the system" by using hints throughout the math questions, having the correct answer given to them, and "earning" a 5/5 on the skill. Does anyone else use KA in this manner and have a grading system in place? I want to hold students accountable, while still allowing them to work in the areas where they need the most improvement...but I have to "grade" them as this is a full semester class.
