Assigning Grades in a Testing Strategies Class

Miben segíthetünk?

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.

Hi Heather,

When a Student uses a hint the system doesn't record it as correct. They'd have to try again the entire set of skills to achieve a higher score.

You can check how many times they have attempted a skill by going to "Manage' under "Assignments", there you'll see a column that says "Completed" and the counter under it, there you'll be able to see how many times they have attempted this exercise and the best score.

If you need further help, please submit a new support request here, so someone from the Support team can take a better look at it.

Best,

Daniela

Thanks for your reply. While it is true that students do not receive credit for a correct response in most of the Khan modules, it is not true of the SAT prep module. I have submitted this issue to Khan, and they do not have a work around for the SAT questions. I am just hoping someone else is using this in a graded class and has developed some sort of method to grade students.

Hi Heather,

You are correct and I'm so sorry I haven't paid more attention to your question! It's good to know you've reached out to the team, I'm sorry there isn't a workaround for this issue yet.

How about posting your question in the Classroom Tips & Tricks forum? I'm sure a lot of teachers there would have ideas to share. :)

I hope this helps! If there's anything else I can do for you, please let me know!

Best,

Daniela
