Class Test 1: 60 students with unacceptably low scores (D or worse)

Class Test 2: 43 students with unacceptably low scores.
I did the first test revision tutorial last Thursday at 5:30pm. At 5:30, this is what the classroom looked like:

Ten minutes later, it looked like this:

Four more turned up near 6pm. I think all six learned a lot. One said as she left that she felt a lot more confident now. Fabulous.
Tonight I did a rerun. Nine students appeared. They all seemed more confident as they left.
I like the banter of these sessions, and I like looking into the whites of students’ eyes. Its the only way to figure out what works and what does not.
Several of the students who showed had good scores. So dozens of poorly performing students aren’t taking advantage of these sessions. All something of a mystery to me.
