Briefly describe the activity/strategy, providing enough detail so that a colleague can
replicate the activity/strategy.
1. Introduction After the third exam in my Chemistry 20 class, I handed out a
grade or assignment tracking sheet so students can keep track of their
assignments, due dates and the grade they earned for each assignment.
2. Set-up & Supplies I prepared an assignment grade tracking sheet for students to
record their grades and assignments. In one column, it had the name of the
assignment, in the second column the due date, the third column had a space
for them to write their earned grade. The last column had the posible points for
that assignemnt.
3. Directions Students were given this tracking sheet and told to keep it in a binder
and bring it to class everyday so they could write down the assignments and
their due dates. Once they received their graded assignements they could
enter their grades on the sheet.
What worked well? Most students remembered to bring their tracking sheets everyday to
class and more than half wrote their grades down after receiving their graded
assignments. Only about 6 students asked me what their total points were a week
before the final, which told me that these 6 students were not using their track sheet.
What would you change? I will hand this out in the beginning of the class and go back to
it two times during the semester.
Would you use the activity/strategy again? Why or why not? Yes. Most students were able
to track and add up their total points. Most of them know what score they need on their
final exam to get their desired grade.
Please describe any student learning and/or changes that you observed after the
implementation of the activity/strategy. Most of the students, the ones that remembered
to bring their tracking sheet to class, did not ask me what grade they were getting in the
class. Only a few did not use it as it was intended and were the ones asking me if they
had missing assignments or for their grade in the course.
