Quiz Confusion
I am a little troubled about the quiz we had on Friday. I believe some of the questions were beyond the range of knowledge we were supposed to know about Beshalach. Had i known there would be more thought questions on the test i would have studied accordingly, but what i was told was that it would be strictly basic knowledge on the Parsha. Therefore i read through the Parsha and made sure i undestood it. I missed a couple questions due to the unpublicized "deeper thought" aspect of the quiz.

I understand your point.
ReplyDeleteThere is no way to study for a thought question. It is a thought question and you just need to think about it. It's a skill you develop not something you can study for.
I don't want you spending hours and hours studying for a quiz. I want you to just think about the material that you learned. That thinking goes on while you are taking the quiz (not before).
Isaac, don't worry. It's just one grade. These quizzes will help young people like you develop critical thinking skills, especially under pressure. He won't penalize you by the end of the semester, I can assure you that.
