TEST CORRECTIONS
If you earned an "A" or "B" on your test, you will receive the credit for TEST CORRECTIONS automatically. Any grade lower demands the corrections. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR TEST ATTACHED TO THE TEST CORRECTIONS FOR CREDIT! You must also do the following:

  • Provide the CORRECT ANSWER 5 TIMES
  • Your answers must be in FULL SENTENCES
  • You must HAND WRITE your answers
    (you may not type/print them)
  • Please, NUMBER your corrections according to the numbers on the test
  • AND REMEMBER - you must attach your test to the corrections...
TEST CORRECTIONS are always due the following Thursday after a test - so this first one is due Thursday, October 27th.

REMEMBER, the only way to avoid TEST CORRECTIONS is to study and be prepared for the test the FIRST time...
