Lesson Comments
Trevor did not do well on the Chapter 9 test because of lack of effort, completing assignments and studying. Rather than giving him extra points on the test, I asked him to redo the questions that he missed so that he learns the material. He tends to learn from his mistakes, which is why not completing assignments hurts his test grades so much.
