30. Scenario It is the end of Term 1 and a student who received a B on their report card comes to see you. His question for you is – what content did I fail to master? His question is motivated by the fact that he wants to make sure he knows it for the year end exam. So, you look in YOUR markbook. Based on what is in YOUR markbook, what can you tell him?

31. Markbooks & Reporting Out Two paradigms: 1. collecting points 2. collecting data
