Corrections+Guidelines


 * Why allow for test and quiz corrections? **

I allow students to make test and quiz corrections because I feel that it is important for them to look back over their work. They learn from making corrections, doing out all of the work, and re-examining what they have done. They have lesser tendency to repeat these mistakes and it also gives them even more ownership of their work and helps them to develop good study skills.


 * The process for corrections (must be followed exactly) **

1. The ** original ** test or quiz must be signed by their parent/guardian. 2. Corrections are done on a ** separate sheet of paper ** and staple it to the top of the original. 3. Students ** must show ALL work on corrections **. 4. For vocab quizzes, they need to __rewrite the word and definition three times__. 5. Needs to be handed in by the due date, usually a week later. (I won't start recorrecting papers until the due date)

Corrections will be scored at half credit. So a test that is originally was 50% has the potential to be a 75% with perfect corrections. The learning value from the corrections is much higher though! :-)
