Test Corrections
Test Corrections are offered for Theatre History Tests.
  • You can gain back half credit for any incorrect answers.  For answers that were partial credit, you can gain back half of what was taken off (for instance, if you had 2 points taken off of a 4 point question, you can gain back 1 point).
  • Test corrections are due one week from when you receive your graded test.
  • Test corrections will be turned in through Canvas.  You also need to turn your physical test copy back in when you are finished with test corrections.
​
For each question that you are correcting, you need to have the following information to receive credit.
  • Section (matching, multiple choice, etc)
  • Question Number
  • The correct answer (all correct answers can be found in the PowerPoint posted online)
  • At least one interesting fact about the topic of the question that was not taught in class.  Go online and research the topic further, and tell me the answer in your own words (don't simply cut and paste the answer...remember, I have Google as well).  Also, while you can help each other with this, you need to have your own answers.
