Regarding #1 (karma), I’d say it helps that, again, your job isn’t tied to your content production. (And I’m sure that someone else can talk much more pointedly to the dynamic between money and karma.) Regardless, I suspect that the people who truly need to consider the monetary implications of the NC license are a small minority." );

As a matter of fact we watched it in my grade 12 (16 & 17+ years old) precalculus class today. The comment from m@rk above was left right after we watched the video. This is the class that I\'m podcasting this semester. The kids applauded after the screencast. ;-) (I introduced my class to you about halfway through the podcast.)<br><br>I\'m teaching vectors later this semester and our grade 11 course (16 year olds) has an entire unit on circle geometry and the properties of angles and chords in circles. This software looks like it\'s going to be great ... once I get past the learning curve. ;-)<br><br>Cheers,<br>Darren" );

I really dig your students’ calculus blog.My gradebook balances at:70% – Tests (strictly limited to these concept quizzes — no other assessment)<br>10% – Final Exam (assigned exactly once per term)<br>20% – Classwork/Homework (everything else)For long-term projects, group work, portfolio work, I just make the assignment worth a lot of classwork or homework points. “The linear data assignment is worth ten homework assignments,” I’ll tell them.I’ve got to ask why you ask, though.If you wonder how you’ll motivate students towards classwork if so much of their grade tipped towards tests, then I share that concern. And my solution has been pretty amenable, this from a guy who shies from direct instruction whenever possible.If, however, you ask because, philosophically, you believe the long-term project-based assignments tell you what your students know, then I can’t really recommend this system, which is built ground-up on the belief that homework and classwork are less a measure of comprehension than of how hard your students work.I guess the decisive hypothetical is this: would you force a kid to retake your class who turned in 0% of the long-term projects but who aced every test?" );
