Will you be implementing a "degree of difficulty" scale in your grading? Miss O'Malley: A what? Jason Fox: Like how in the olympic diving and gymnastics, one can score more points by doing things in a more difficult fashion. For example, if I were to take the quiz holding a sharpie with my teeth while standing on my head, could I potentially earn a score higher than the 10/10 baseline? Miss O'Malley: No, 10/10 is the maximum grade. Jason Fox: Phooey. Can I do those things anyway? I kinda spent all summer practicing. Miss O'Malley: Speaking of summer, next year's is HOW many months away?
