Explanation of Grading:
The multiple choice and True/False questions are graded on an all-ornone basis, where points are either awarded entirely or not at all.
o Example: Where is the Earth's water currently thought to have
come from?
a. The Earth's mantle cracked and water rushed up from the
second layer of the core (the anhydrous layer)
b. The Earth formed oceans when water vapor from volcanoes
condensed from the atmosphere and became liquid water
c. Meteors, comets, and other space materials carrying water
crashed into Earth for millions of years
d. The Earth has no water, only oceans of scientific sadness and
despair.
o Only an answer of C would be accepted here and
earn 3 points--all other answers would not earn any
credit.

Data Summary/Conclusions/Future Changes:
Some students had low growth, despite a low pre-test score. These
students might require special inquiry to identify areas for future
growth techniques.
