Test Corrections

Test correction cover sheet
Exams are an assessment tool for you and me to address any misconceptions and gauge your understanding of the topic.  It is imperative that you use exams as a learning tool rather than solely focusing on just the grade.  Test Corrections are mandatory for any student who did not master the exam (85% or higher).  You will receive a separate quiz grade of 100 for your completed test corrections (these must be done according to the procedures below).  If you mastered the exam you are exempt from corrections but are still encouraged to do them and will also receive a quiz grade of 100 for completion.  

Procedures

You must follow the procedures correctly to receive a test correction grade!!!
  1. Fill out the entire test correction cover sheet 
  2. For each question, on a separate sheet of paper write the correct answer choice  and in your own words write a thorough explanation of the answer to prove that you now understand it. This can be either of the following: 
                  -A clear and detailed  explanation of why this is the correct answer (NOT “I found it in my notes”)
                  -A clear and detailed explanation of why your original answer was wrong (NOT “I forgot the answer”) 

Sample Correction

Original Question: According to what you know about the 5 life processes, would R2D2, a robot from the Star Wars movies, be considered “living” or “non-living”? Explain your reasoning.
 
Original incorrect answer: R2D2 is not alive because he is a machine made of gears and metal and living things aren’t made of metal

Corrected answer: 
R2D2 is not a living thing because he cannot perform all 5 of the life processes. He cannot reproduce and I don’t think he gets rid of waste either. He definitely does get and use energy from batteries or something and he responds to changes by following commands. Because he can’t do all 5, he is not alive.
 
Explanation:
In my original answer, I did not refer to the 5 life processes. I didn’t explain that in order for something to be considered living it has to do all 5 of the life processes.
