Objective Sheets

Below is an example of the front and back of an Objective Sheet. This is an example of
a strong Objective Sheet, as the student completed the journal both days of the class
week (as seen by the mark in the small box for each date) as well as scoring a 10/10 for
completion, and an 8/10 on the next day. With this Objective Sheet, this student was
able to track her grades for the week and anticipate what she would get as her
classwork grade before I even put the grade into the gradebook. This helps to put
students “in the driver’s seat,” rather than having their grades be a mystery until their
graded work is handed back. In fact, this student can calculate the exact grade that she
will get on this assignment (since it was only a two day week, then she would divide the
total points she earned by the number of points possible, which for a two-day week,
would be 30). In this case, the student earned 32 points (she received extra credit for
both journals, as she was the first one to complete her journal both days. Therefore,
her classwork grade for the week was a 107% (rounding up to the nearest 1 percent).
