I graded Natalie's homework and found that most of it was wrong because she tried to oversimplify her answers by combining terms that had variables with pure constants. She requested more independent work and I gave her an assignment to work on while I worked in the teachers' room. When I came back, she was finished so I began to check her work. I found that there was a lot of correcting to do so I told her that there would not be an assignment for tonight.
