Quiz Revisions can significantly increase your grade because they work just like extra credit.
By correctly doing a Quiz Revision, you can receive back half of all the points you missed on the original quiz.
Remember, you can do a quiz revision no matter what you scored on your quiz (whether you missed 1 point or 100 points!) and you can revise the extra credit problem too!
Here are the steps to doing a Quiz Revision:
Use a clean sheet of notebook paper. Put a heading on it and title it "Quiz Revision".
Revise each problem that you lost points on by... solving the problem correctly and showing all of your work.
Explain what you should have done to solve the problem correctly and why.
If you still do not know how to correctly solve a problem, ask someone for help!
Turn in the revision stapled to the original quiz on the due date.
Here's an example of a quiz and a correctly done quiz revision:
