I graded their journals. Because my students don't really know how to take notes, I write the notes for them to copy. I provided the notebooks. I told them it was for a grade (should have been an easy one - they just had to copy from the board). Sixteen per cent didn't even have it available for me to grade - and they aren't supposed to take this out of the room.
I reminded them for a week that I would be grading them - and 16% weren't even there to grade.
I don't know how to make it easier for them to pass.
The average grade (I took 2 points off if a written page wasn't there and 1 point off if they hadn't glued a page in) was 71. There is no calculation. It's just copying.

Your students sound EXACTLY like my last group of students! I GAVE them every note they needed--all they had to do was copy the notes from the overhead. I let them look at their notes for quizzes. You don't have any notes with you for the quiz? Oh, I'm sorry. Well, then just do the best you can. You can imagine what their "best" was. Sad.
