Lesson Comments
The lesson was the Skype session. Charlotte responded orally and in writing to the 5 exam questions. She scored a 65 on the exam and returned the written section on Monday. I am not sure if the Skype session affected her performance.
Charlotte was late getting back from her 45 minute lunch break and had not eaten lunch yet. She completed the majority of the test but gave up on a few problems and refused to keep trying. She was able to do both of these concepts a few days ago with no trouble.
