I was gone for a couple of hours because I have my chores to do, and also prepared the evaluation of my students. Yes, we will not have duty on Monday and Tuesday, so I sat for a while to do the grades.
The meeting we had last week brought up some topics on how to rate our students. They introduced a new ‘style’ of rating the learners. Although I do my own according to how I evaluate them, some of the full-time colleagues and our clinical coordinator are revising and want our ‘style’ to follow what they want to be done; that is why I am literally burning my brows to come up with my grade.
As an example: How will you get the percentage of an actual rating of 19.5 against the desired rating of 30 that should be equivalent to 7% as part of the 50% level of competency? I cannot explain it in words, but this is what is breaking my head.
I will be out later again, to continue burning my brows and breaking my head.

i compute 8 students every rotation but it is the difficulty doing their grades that makes me burn my brows. i have finished just 2 students' evaluation.

the students know me since their 2nd year because i handled them at obstetric ward and medical ward in their 3rd year. they know me well so they should know that when i am their instructor, they should do well and better.

Always hated math and this looks like a math problem to me.

@ridingbet They only see the feedback after the class. Basically, it compromises the grammar mistakes and mispronounced words.

Hmmmm I think you have a different grading system... I just remember how we used to compute our grades in our major subjects.. It was so easy... 20% for our class standing (homeworks, seatworks, recitation, projects, and the like) and 80% for the exams...
If I got 40 out of 100 in my exam, that is equivalent to 32% plus 20% if my class standing is perfect... My grade will be 52... awwww!!!

@brokenbee the 50% is further subdivided to 11 more levels; one has 7%, some have 5%, others 3% and the last level of competency has 4%.

In here, our governor Ryan Singson declared no classes in all levels and government words in preparation against the approaching typhoon.
