Quiz & Test Corrections

"A man who does not correct his mistakes makes another mistake..." -- Confucius

If you receive a grade of a 75% or lower on a quiz or test, you have the opportunity to improve you grade by correcting your mistakes. The procedure for completing and submitting test corrections is listed below.

For each well executed correction that you make, you will earn half credit (ex: a multiple choice question worth 2 points on an exam, will receive 1 point if the correction is completed thoroughly). Short answer questions will be given credit per the teacher's discretion.

Correction Procedure:

1. Test/Quiz Corrections are due one business week from when the test was returned to you. After that, the teacher has the right to refuse to accept your corrections for credit.

2. Test/Quiz Corrections should be submitted on a separate sheet of paper (except for mapping exercises), with the corrections stapled to the ORIGINAL test or quiz.

3. For each incorrect question you must supply:

a) The correct answer
b) Why your answer was wrong -OR- why the correct answer was a better choice than the answer that you chose.


Test/Quiz Corrections will be graded after all current work is dealt with. Your change in grade will be reflected on your My Grade Book account, once it has been finalized.
