Great Scott! — Scott Hopsicker’s Students do it Again!
In June, 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.”
