Live from Dolphin Park

There are so many people using the net here that I can barely get anything from BitTorrent.

I was thinking about you guys and I decided now would be a good time to talk about the final exam. The exam itself is all IB questions with no editing. There will be four short answer questions and one essay. This should take about 80 to 90 minutes if you are writing at a good pace and not putting too much on paper. You will have the full two hours of course.

I noticed that they are grading the short answer questions a bit differently this year and I will be putting up a grade descriptor for it tomorrow when I get to the office. You should refer to this as well as the other one that I put for the discussion section of the essay when planning your answers.

Anything that we covered this year, and chapters 1 through 8 in your textbooks can appear. It is a good test and I think you will do fine.

As you may have seen I have been finishing my examiner work this week. I can honestly say that the marks are all over the place. Some high scores and some low ones. The highest yet is a 39 out of 40. I have not seen anything different from the tests I grade in class. SO you guys are right on target.

I guess that's about it for now. Tomorrow is furniture moving day so there will be CAS opportunities for anyone who comes to school.
