<div>As an English teacher and SIM trainer, I would score the sentence as a run-on. Looking at the rest of the text, the student doesn’t appear to understand when to use commas, which leads me to believe that the student used the comma as a pause rather than
for a compound sentence.<br clear="none">

<div>Hmm… I’ve always scored this type of sentence as a run-on sentence. Otherwise, you’d be giving the student credit for knowing how to form a compound sentence. If the student really knew how to form a compound sentence, it wouldn’t look like this! In other
words, the idea is to just score the sentences as they appear without giving the student extra credit by surmising something. Jean</div>

Hello …
<div class="yiv0098670210">I’m working with a small district in Ohio. I’ve noticed this pattern in the student writing in this district (especially high school), and I would curious how you would score these pretests for sentence writing. I am attaching one student’s
