Social 10
Your final exam marks have been posted outside my classroom, along with the mark that will end up on your report card. I threw out a number of questions from your final exam, because they weren't up to my standards of good multiple choice questions (some were ambiguous, incorrect, had more than one answer) or didn't fare well on the item analysis (if a high percentage of you got a question wrong, it was eliminated). For Social 10-1, your class average on the multiple choice final that you wrote today was 73% and for Social 10-3, your class average was 70%. I don't e-mail students their test scores or anything like that, so you do have to come in and check the results for yourself. Once again, it was pleasure teaching all of you, and maybe our paths will cross again in the future, either in Social 20-1 or 30-1 or 30-2. If you have any questions about the test or your report card mark, you can come and see me on Monday (I'm not at the school tomorrow, I'm attending a CBE wide meeting on next year's Social 20-1 and 20-2 curriculum).
Social 20
Your final exam marks as well as your final course marks are posted outside my classroom, so please come in and check them out. Overall, I think your final exam went well. The class average was 75%, which is right about where it should be. I may teach some of you again in either Social 30 or 33, so our paths may cross again. If you have any questions about the final exam or your final course grade, please come and see me. It was a pleasure teaching you.

Thanks for teachingggg social 20!
thanks for teaching us, you were a great teacher!
Approx. how many questions did you eliminate from the SS10 final exam?
BTW, the exam had a LOT of source based questions. Especially in the first half.
awwww...we'll miss ur classes mr.gilchrist...u were a really good teacher!!! thanks....
hey mr g!! thanks for teaching our class..
i'll probably never have another teacher that likes jpop hahahaha.
remember to send me powerpoints next year!
i bet you can guess who this is..
Mr. Gilchrist, there was this one question on the test (ss20) where they give you a bar graph. It was the same bar graph as the one you said was "bad" because the Y and X axis weren't labelled. So I'm just wondering if you kept that question.
thanks

I have no idea what the question was. It's over. Don't worry about it anymore.

It was a lot of questions: I eliminated 11 questions.

But it had a title, and the title gave some information about what it was measuring, percentage. So the developing world has 80% of the population,etc. From there you should have been able to figure things out.

No. That test has been kicking around in various forms for years. I obviously dropped the last 10 questions because it's silly to have a test out of 110. Other than that, after looking at the item analysis (which tells me the percentage of students that got a question wrong), there weren't any questions where a large percentage of the class got wrong, so I kept them all.
mr.g, if our mark is 87.5, will u make it an 88, keep it as it is, or change it into 87??

The mark that I posted outside my classroom is the way it will appear on your report card. My marks program doesn't have decimals when it comes to calculating the mark, it rounds to the nearest whole number.
Thanks, Mr. Gilchrist for a great year!
so would it have rounded 87.5 to 88?

Yes, it would have.
hey mr.gilchrist, is there any possible way to request you as a teacher next year?

That's sort of called "teacher shopping" and I don't think they really let you do it, unless you have some legitimate reason to switch into a section/class that I'm teaching. Usually it's luck of the draw. I think that you'd be fine in any class with any teacher in the Social Studies department, and it might be good for you to experience it with a different teacher. That doesn't mean you can't try to switch out, it just might be difficult to rearrange your timetable to have me again as a teacher.
