Hell is in the details , says the proverb. When analyzing the practice has brought the reform, there is one that I want to stress this morning: it is the right to evaluation. Thus, one can not deprive a student of his "right" to be evaluated. Until then, few people will object to this principle. But here are some cases where the situation could skid.
The unexplained absence
A student is absent from an assessment. He prefers to stay home to listen Simpsons. His absence is not justified. Young still has the right to return to the assessment which he has voluntarily private.
can always give the student a "consequence". Still one thing: the young is advantage over their classmates. Thus, it will theoretically have more time to prepare for the assessment. Think
an oral presentation, for example. You can not penalize the young away on its outcome Education: The rubrics do not provide for the withdrawal point for this kind of situation. It could be argued that this is a behavior problem and that the result of pupil shall not be affected. The fact remains that the latter has been an advantage and it's his colleagues who are so treated unfairly. All in the name of the sacrosanct principle the "right" evaluation.
In the case of a written test, if it does not benefit the student absent, we must create a new situation assessment of learning. When you know that SAE is spread over four periods sometimes, what teacher wants to work this stuff?
Plagiarism or cheating
If a student cheating during an assessment or plagiarizes a work, it is forbidden to him sticking zero. We must get him back to the race where he has attempted to circumvent the rules. Of course, we can give it a "consequence" but, again, the "right" evaluation may not penalize him about his grades. It must then create a new test and provide a new time for evaluation.
This rule does not apply to a college or university. But senior colleagues, prepare to see challenge your ways of managing this kind of situation.
Waiver complete a FA
If a student gives up an exam, as a precaution, the teacher should make him sign a paper explaining the choice and notify the parents of the child. But, surprise! the young will always change mind later.
The late delivery of work
Same here again. We can remove items to the note of a work voluntarily handed in late. One day, ten days: it's the same principle applies.
I understand the concept of "right" evaluation, but a principle carried to its absolute becomes absurd.
A student who waives a FA move or who do not meet the conditions thereof should not be a possibility of recovery. You can always reply that it is penalizing the student otherwise (copy, reflection, given time, etc..). The problem is that then embeds a dynamic and complex heavy consuming considerable time they could devote to pursuits more healthy and stimulating.
What is also difficult with this famous "law" is that it opens the door to abuse by those who benefit from this largesse and it became a private teacher to show discernment in the context of their professional judgments.
It is also ironic that some of those who established this practice or who defend working in educational institutions that handle these cases very differently from what they are asking us to apply. Where that other proverb Do as I say, not what I do ...
