Chapter 8

Even though Wormeli thinks that things like participation and behavior should not be included in a student's grade, I feel that effort should be graded. A student may be struggling with the material, but that student is trying so hard to master the stuff. They do all of their assignments, participates in class, asks questions, and they still are not doing well with the material. I feel that their effort should be recognized. I do agree that attendance should not be included in a grade. My first year of college, I suffered from migraines frequently. Almost all of my professors graded on attendance. So, even though I did all of my homework and did well on tests, my grade was lowered because of my health.
