Test Corrections
This will count as 50 points (half as much as a test) and will be recorded in the test category of your grade.
- Give some thought as to how well you did on the test compared to expectations that you had going in to the test. If you did better than you thought please think about why that is. Likewise, if you did not do as well as you thought you would, give some that some thought as well. Then take time to summarize your thoughts in a paragraph or two.
- Make corrections to problems you missed on additional sheets of paper. Corrections need to be made for
- All multiple choice, matching, fill-in-the-blank, and true/false questions. Show the correct answer and indicate where you found the correct answer. (Be specific, e.g. page number)
- All short answer questions in which you earned less than 80% (4 out of 5) of the points. Show all work and circle answers.
- All essay questions in which you earned less than 60% (3 out of 5) of the points. Rewrite answer to essay question.
- For each problem that you got wrong (including short answer problems but not essay questions), write down two similar problems (from book, notes, or write your own problem/question) and solve appropriately.
- You must write a problem statement for each problem and solve each problem appropriately. Writing your own problems is a very useful tool in learning to recognize and decipher chemistry problems. Skipping the problem statement will mean no points for this section.
- If there was three problems that all tested the same skill and you missed all three than you must make-up six new problems. Two for each problem you got wrong, not each type of problem. Each question requires it's own problems statement, not just a new set of numbers.
- The example problem does not have to be in the same form (i.e. multiple choice, fill in the blank) as the problem you missed.
- Use a logical numbering system so I know which problem you are making an example for.
- Briefly answer the following question: What can you do in preparation for the next test that will help you attain your goal? Additionally, what can I do to help you?
Turn in your test with the four parts of test corrections stapled to the front of it.
