Answer Sheets

• We provide answer sheets for each quiz and test,
  individually tailored for number and type of
  questions.
• For each question, there is an answer blank (or
  as many as needed for a multiple-part question)
  and space for showing work.
• This makes it easier to review for possible
  partial credit after students submit their
  answers online. We can also catch students
  typing errors and restore points when needed.

Taking a Quiz or Test Late

• If a student needs to take a test late, for a
  verifiable reason, there are two options that we
  use

  the new due date and time, and a new password.

  zero, and transferring the score to the regular
  test slot, with Managing Incompletes.
