Great Scott! — Scott Hopsicker’s Students do it Again!

Posted on September 10th, 2006 in About Big6, Research About Big6, Testing by The Big6 Staff

In June 2006, Bob heard from Scott Hopsicker, long time Big6er and US History instructor. Email from Scott Hopsicker to Bob Berkowitz (06/22/06): “This was the 1st time I taught US since you helped me in the 97-98 school year. This school year I had 32 kids out of 55 get 90% or higher. 41 kids out of 55 get 85% or higher. Only 1 failure b/c the person collecting the test didn’t make him do the essays and he failed w/ a 59 (he got 41 out of 50 m/c correct). This is my 10th year teaching and thought b/c of that you might want to compare this w/ my 1st and 2nd year teaching at Wayne. Still doing your stuff.”
