i'm opening this thread to address your concerns regarding the 11-counts (not 11-seconds) rule when passing the papers.
I answered in another thread that I have been successful at implementing the 11-count rule in all the classes that i have taught. In every class, the casualty rate (those who were not able to submit on time) during the 1st three times after the 11-count rule has been implemented is rather high, ranging from 80%-90%. But usually, after students realize how serious (meaning no excuses accepted) and consistent (meaning fair and equal treatment to everyone who submits late) I am in impementing this rule, the casualty rate drops from a record high of 93% to 0% by the 5th time that it is being implemented. After two weeks, I definitely get a 100% compliance rate.
I understand that everyone is adjusting to this policy. The consequences of not complying with the rule can be very costly. But it is always a learning experience. You might say that this is not the way, the other teachers do it. But then, I am not just any other teacher. I told the class that I will be giving you quality teaching but I also will demand quality from my students.
I want to bring out the best in everyone. And as I always tell all my classes, the best is always the hardest. Please understand that it is my role as a teacher to train you. And i made a promise to myself that i will always train my students as best as I could, even if it means that some of my policies will be unpopular with them. Remember, my dear guys and gals, the right thing is not always popular, and the the popular is not always right.
Here is my two cents on why people find it difficult to comply.
"FIVE REAL REASONS WHY PEOPLE FAIL TO SUBMIT WITHIN 11-COUNTS" (not in arranged in any order)
1) Instructions given by the teacher are either disregarded or not being followed. --> In my experience, there are some students who do not really listen carefully or take instructions seriously. So, despite the warning signals (ex. "1 minute to go", "get ready to submit", etc), they still try to force the entire class to wait for them.
2) Cramming or trying to beat the clock. --> Some students try to see if they can answer everything in the last minute. This is next to impossible.
3) Lack of unity or concern for the welfare of the entire group. --> If you feel concerned about your classmates, you will do your share in submitting on time. Others who care will be waiting for you, and you will be dragging them down by being selfish about making them wait. I have observed that I can always tell if a class is strong and united by the way they submit their papers. You can tell so much about people from the way they observe the 11-count rule. try to observe it too and you will know what I mean.
4) Poor time management. --> If you only answered the questions at the last minute, definitely you will not make it on time. If you only have 5 minutes for a quiz, make sure your answers will be worth 5 minutes only.
5) Don't really know how to answer the test. --> If you do not know the answers, you will be hoping for inspiration to hit you at the last minute. but if you did not study, nothing will really happen. Now, some students wait for submission time so that they can view other people's papers. One of the reasons I've been implementing the 11-count rule is to prevent cheating from happening during submission time.
There are other reasons like slowness in writing answers, etc. But then, the 11-count rule works wonders for those who write slowly. In just two weeks, you will be writing faster during my class.
goodluck to everyone! btw, i'm sorry to disappoint those who are asking for special consideration because i do not really give special considerations for a very simple rule. As I said, I have not granted anyone, not a single one of my students even before, special consideration for this rule. And they will tell you, passing papers during my classes is always a thrilling experience. hehe.
@lyka i will be randomly re-arranging the seats after i have memorized all your names. hopefully, by the first week of august. in the meantime, i'll be asking everyone in the class to just remain in their assigned seats until the re-shuffling.
nah! ako i dnt waite for the people at the back. kc most of the time they are the ones delaying man. kahit you pass the paper early the one in front of you will not pass it right away naman so i dotnwait for them anymore. i give my paper to abner na kaagad. C:
