Daily Quizzes

Daily Quizzes are a way of assessing your knowledge and refreshing your memory from previous units. Daily Quizzes happen daily and are scored daily! IB Graduates have that found DQs give a better sense of what to write and how your responses will be graded on tests and the IB exams. 

You will have a maximum of 10 minutes to complete each DQ. You will be told the topic being assessed in advance, so this is not a pop quiz.

• Mondays DQs are Multiple Choice Mondays (#MCM) with 5 questions each.
• Tuesday/Wednesday DQs are short answer questions worth between 3 and 6 points each.
• Thursday/Friday DQs are Vocab Quizzes based on this list of latin prefixes and suffixes (c/o Ms. Abraham of sciencefreaks.com). Each Vocab Quiz will consist of 6-8 terms randomly chosen from the list. More instructions can be found on the document itself.

Don't be late to class! If you miss the DQ due to tardiness you will not be allowed to make it up. If you have an excused absence you may make up the DQ within two days of your return.
​
Grading: 
DQs are peer-graded.

1. ​Look at the markscheme and assign points to a peer's DQ.
2. Return the DQ to the correct person.
3. If you don't agree with your peer grade, highlight your name and I will regrade it. Keep in mind that I may agree with the peer grade or even give a lower score.
4. Turn in your DQ.

DQ will be entered in the gradebook as a "no count" category. At the end of the quarter, your cumulative DQ score will be averaged, IB weighted, and included as part of your Formal Assessment grade.
