...
I'm really not very happy about class today. The evaluation of group is really unfair. We feel that all should have the same mark for reseacrh, but because of "No 2 people can have the same mark"... we all have different marks. I may have an overall 5/5... but i dont think its fair for the others. Apparantly it only will count for 0.5% of the class... but we're (grade 11s) already 10% below our desired mark. Which brings me to my next point. The fact that we're apparantly being compared to the best of the grade 12s... Thats definately not fair. My mark should not be based on them, but on me. Only me. They all have another year experience, and that year is the most important in high school. In grade 10, we were given easy, busy work. Now, in grade 11, we're given real work. We have all of 1 month experience with this, they have a year (minimum). They have much more experience than us. My mark is not a toy, I need a high mark (especially in grade 12 english) to get into desired universities. Im sorry, but this mark toying is bullshit.

There is no toying Julian. Today's "evaluation" was actually an exercise in problem solving, I will give everyone the option of dropping it if they choose. As to expectations, you are being evaluated using the same criteria as the rest of the class. There isn't one rubric for Grade 11s and another for Grade 12s. Nor are you being compared to them. I do not "bell curve" marks. A level 4 in this class is marked on the same scale this year as it was in previous years. There is one rubric for any given assignment in the class.
