What’s in an R-score? And why does it feel like it was designed by a statistics prof with a grudge?
In this episode of RASCALS’ Roundtable, we demystify one of the most confusing—and most important—parts of the Quebec CEGEP system. Guest Sylvain Jomphe, ESL teacher and union president at Cégep de Jonquière, joins us to explain how R-scores are really calculated, what students (and teachers) getwrong about them, and what we can do to help.
🎧 Topics include:
· What exactly is the R-score?
· Why your grade isn’t the whole story
· How group strength affects your chances
· The truth about ‘cheating down’
· How to talk to students about placement
