3. Quiz and Test Procedures

4. Answer Sheets • We provide answer sheets for each quiz and test, individually tailored for number and type of questions. • For each question, there is an answer blank (or as many as needed for a multiple-part question) and space for showing work. • This makes it easier to review for possible partial credit after students submit their answers online. We can also catch students’ typing errors and restore points when needed.

Taking a Quiz or Test Early • Our students are able to take any quiz or test early, provided they meet the following criteria: • All homework for the unit is complete, scoring 100% on every section. • The appropriate Practice Quiz/Test has been taken, with a minimum score of 70% needed. • Arrangements are made with the instructor.

19. Early Test Taking Arrangements If a time is chosen when the instructor is not in the Math TLC, we email the lab staff the student’s name, which quiz or test it will be, and the password (unless a paper-only test will be used). • The quiz or test is given in a quiet area reserved for this purpose. • The answer sheet is placed in the instructor’s folder in the lab upon completion.

28. Taking a Quiz or Test Late • If a student needs to take a test late, for a verifiable reason, there are two options that we use: • The original test with the settings changed for the new due date and time, and a new password. • A separate Make-Up test can be written and given. • This involves setting the make-up test weight to zero, and transferring the score to the regular test slot, with Managing Incompletes.

29. Late Test Taking Arrangements • They are the same as for early tests: • If a time is chosen when the instructor is not in the Math TLC, we email the lab staff the student’s name, which quiz or test it will be, and the password (unless a paper test will be used). • The quiz or test is given in a quiet area reserved for this purpose. • The answer sheet is placed in the instructor’s folder in the lab upon completion.
