I went through all of my marks and if you performed better on the unit test than you did on your assignment, then it shows proof of learning so your test represents what you know better than the assignment because it is more recent. So, for example (my favorite one), if you got 54% on your unit 4 assignment and then worked really hard and got 100% on your test, then I changed your assignment mark to 100% !!! If that was you... WELL DONE!! |
