How it Works
-Instead of retaking the quiz or test, you correct it
-Take your original test or quiz and work only with the questions you got wrong
-Within five days of the original test (same time allowed for a retake) you will submit your original test with the following information ONLY for the questions you got wrong.
The correct answer for the question.
An explanation as to why that answer is the correct answer.
A sincere, specific, and reflective explanation as to why you got the question wrong.
Something specific you will do in the future to avoid the same mistake.
Example:
#5.) The correct answer is B, “George Washington” This answer is correct because George Washington was the leader of the Continental Army during the Revolution. I got this question wrong because the other possible answers confused me. I didn't study chapter 7 enough and therefore became confused on this question. Next time, I will spend at least an hour studying for a test. I will also make sure that I understand the question.
