tcsparky: I would be upset if a pre-test like that was included in my grades also. unless she's going to somehow measure against it with the final to determine what you've learned over the course of the term. If you could get an A on the pre-test, then you didn't really need the class, right?

I'm teaching a management class for the first time right now. There are so many things that I would love to change mid-stream, but what's on the syllabus is on the syllabus. For example, I accept late homework with a penalty of 10% per day. This was a bad move, because we discuss the homework in class on the day it is due, so students can listen to the discussion, take notes, and turn it in. So, it sucks, but all I can do is chalk it up to a learning experience, and fix it next time.
