      • Exit Ticket
        1. This week's exit ticket will not "go live" today, because how are you going to say what you did all week when it's the first day?
        2. 4 pts Proofread your work.
          3 pts What did you accomplish in CS Discoveries this week?
          3 pts What did you learn in CS Discoveries this week?
        3. NOTE: If you do not describe WHAT you did, saying you worked on it is not enough information to earn credit.
          1. Bad Example: "I completed Unit 2 Lesson 1" says nothing about what you did or learned. Describe what you did and what you learned as if to someone who does not have access to the course materials.
        4. Exit Tickets are always 10 point Classwork grades and not eligible for late submission or re-submission. They are due during the last 10 minutes of the last class of the week.
