Procedure for self-grading quizzes

• At the end of the quiz, right before handing in the bluebook, students should scan their quizzes into a mobile device.
• Solutions to the quizzes will be posted on the course webpage following the Monday quiz.
• Students should print out their scanned quizzes and self-grade it, using a different color pen for the self-grading so it can be clearly identified.
• Students should submit their Self-graded quizzes through the Canvas assignment "Quiz # self grade" before the due date Friday 1pm of the week of the quiz. Self-graded quizzes will not be accepted after this deadline.
• Concurrently, quizzes will be graded and a grade will be assigned to the quiz by the TA/instructor independently of the self-grading. That will be the "preliminary grade" for the quiz.
• The final grade for the quiz will be the preliminary grade plus (possibly) extra credit for self-grading. If the student doesn't submit a self-graded quiz by the Friday 1pm deadline, the preliminary grade becomes the final grade. Self-grading will not lower the preliminary grade under any circumstance.
• It is permissible for students to discuss the solutions with others. However self-grading should be done by each student individually on their own quizzes, collaborative work is not allowed.
• To get as much extra credit as possible from self-grading, you should:
  (1) Understand throughly the posted solutions.
  (2) Go through your quiz and understand throughly what you did wrong (if anything). Explain in the self-grading what you did wrong, and how to do it right, or state that your solution is right.
  (3) It's possible that your solution is different from the posted one and still correct. If so, you should explain in the self-grading why that is so.
  (4) Assign yourself points for each part of the problems as given in the rubric specified in the self-grading assignment. Add up those points to give the total score for each problem, write it next to the beginning of the problem and circle it, then add up the points for all the problems and write them at the beginning of the quiz and circle it as e.g. 30/30, 18/30, 1/30, etc.
  (5) If for some part of a problem (e.g. (b)) you used a wrong result from an earlier part (e.g. (a)), but did (b) correctly otherwise, you should give yourself full credit for (b) even though the numerical result is wrong.
  (6) You should aim to give yourself a self-graded score that reflects as accurately as possible your performance in the quiz. That should result in higher extra credit and hence higher final grade for your quiz.
