- Who should submit a Math Exam 4 Revision and Reflection?
- All students are invited to submit an Exam Revision and Reflection (details below) for as many problems as you choose to revise and resubmit.
- If your exam has a star or two stars by your name, you are particularly invited to submit an Exam Revision and Reflection.
- Exam Revision Detailed Guidelines
- You may utilize any resource available to you, but submitted work must reflect your own personal understanding of the material.
- The care you take in presenting your work will be considered when evaluating it, so pay attention to organization, neatness, etc.
- Revisions must be neat, complete, and presented in a logical, clear-to-understand fashion.
- Since these are revisions, a higher standard will be used to evaluate your responses. Essentially, your solutions should be of the highest quality you can produce.
- You may revise any problems you choose, and must present a complete solution to all parts of any problem you choose to revise.
- Revisions to Multiple Choice questions must include an explanation.
- Math Exam 4 Meta-cognitive Reflection
- In addition to revising the problems and in an attempt to help solidify your learning, attend to gaps, build a firm conceptual and procedural foundation for future work, and help you improve your study habits, you will complete and include a meta-cognitive reflection asking you to analyze your performance on the exam (similar to earlier Math Exams).
- This is an essential part of your Exam Revision. I will not consider Exam Revisions that do not include this work, done thoughtfully.
- For each problem you choose to revise and submit, you must answer the following questions. Submit these responses on their own sheet of paper, typed up or written up neatly, with your name, separate from the revised exam.
- Name/describe the algebra/pre-calculus and calculus concepts and procedures needed for this problem.
Identify specifically (e.g. which Reading Response, Lecture, Math Lab, Problem Set, and/or Quiz: give a specific identifier) where you had a chance to learn/practice these concepts and procedures.(You can’t do this as you have already submitted your Portfolio)- Identify specifically what the gaps were for you in demonstrating your learning for this problem. This is intended to help your learning. There are two extremes to be aware of: i) Self-flagellation. Use self-compassion, like we discussed in last fall’s Week 5 Seminar, and don’t beat yourself up; ii) Ego-protection. Use honesty and critical thinking to avoid bluffing yourself.
- Name/describe strategies you can actually and realistically practice to address the gaps you identified in the previous step, to turn them into opportunities for learning and improvement.
