| Test Correction Replacement Program | On a separate sheet of paper, you must write a paragraph proofs for each question you answered wrong on the test. A quality paragraph proofs has an introduction, body and conclusion. Check out http://www.geocities.com/mathwiz2k2000/Proofs.html for an example of a good paragraph proof. Test corrections are due by the next chapter test. I will check your test corrections as many times as needed prior to the next chapter test. Once completed you are eligible for the replacement program. Example, chapter one test you earned a 15% and then chapter two you earned an 87% and turned in your test corrections, so the 15% will now be replaced with an 87% also. |
