  • just grade the half with their names on it, and give them zeros on the other halves?

    • That thought did cross my mind; however, only one student used blue felt-tip pen, only one made checkmarks in pencil, only one made X's in pencil, and since those papers were very easy to match up, it seemed unfair to penalize the ones that were a little harder to match up. I still hate quizzes.
