Test corrections

You must do test corrections on a separate sheet of notebook paper. They are due on Friday October 10 if you want the credit! You rewrite the ENTIRE question / definition and the answer, you DO NOT simply change the letter answer. The number of your test correction should match the number of your test question that you missed. I will average in a 100 with your test grade if you do them ALL and do them CORRECTLY!
