We never have time to meet. Sure -- we have email, but then we have to forward copies of any meaningful discussions to everybody so they can comment and forward to everybody again... I'm sure you see the problem. Think of this as an ongoing department meeting where RESPECTFUL and COURTEOUS discussion can occur.

This one is from Katie Meluskey at MHS: I think that would be a good idea- I had to rush in a couple of concepts a couple days before the exam so they could do some of the problems from chapter 5.
This is from Mary Krolewski:
That sounds good to me.
Here's an email from Jenn Prusinski:
I agree!! It is so hard to try to get in that last chapter before the test.
A comment from Tresa Malligo:
I agree. It is hard to get through the curriculum to include unit 5.
This one is from Chrissy Nordmark at GAR:
I wouldn’t mind to see the curriculum altered a little as well. If you look at the 4th quarter, a lot of it is perimeter, area, circumference, volume, etc. not too challenging and not to difficult to cover in a short amount of time. I always get through the entire curriculum by the end of the year but just a little later with the 2nd quarter items then it states on the curriculum. By the time the final comes around all the curriculum has been covered so I guess it really wouldn’t matter one way or the other really.
Also from Chrissy Nordmark:
I like this idea. Right now it includes Chapter 5 and although I will get to that shortly, I never seem to get that far by the midterm exams. I feel that I go at a pretty good pace and only get to Chapter 4.4 before the midterms a big reason for this is all of the algebra that we have to cover in the beginning of the year.
Next year's midterm will include ONLY units 1 through 4. You should still try to cover unit 1 to 5, however (no curriculum change). Unit 5 will be assessed on the final exam.
