Answer ´half correct ´?
|
|
Here in Brazil when a teacher corrects a test, sometimes the answer is correct, sometimes it ´s wrong and sometimes it ´s partially correct.
Does it sound ok to say it ´s haft correct? If not, what do you suggest? |

I would avoid that issue and just say I ´m giving half credit for it. Bruce |

To say ´half correct ´ or ´half right ´ is OK, but Bruce ´s suggestion is good, since the student has got part of the answer, or half of the answer and so you will want to give half a mark. Incidentally, if this happens in an oral exchange, I say, ´Nearly there... ´ A colleague of mine just repeats ´And...? ´ to elicit all the information. |
