STUDENTS MAY USE HAND-WRITTEN NOTES FOR THEIR QUIZZES ON THE CHAPTERS. • TEST CORRECTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR UNIT TESTS ONLY. STUDENTS MUST MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO DO TEST CORRECTIONS AND FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES TO UNDERSTAND WHY THEY GOT THE INCORRECT ANSWER. STUDENTS MAY EARN 1/3 OF THE POINT BACK ON INCORRECT ANSWERS. • WRITING IS A CRITICAL SKILL FOR COLLEGE, SO WRITING IS A BIG PIECE OF WHAP. STUDENTS SHOULD NOT NEGLECT ANY WRITTEN PIECES FOR CLASS.
