Quiz

My comments:

* Use 14-16 point font

If you use a small font, I will try to read it, but I won’t go blind correcting it.

I have 90 students and eight classes. I won’t ruin my eyes trying to read and correct tiny font.

You have to fix that. You have to figure out to change the font size.

* Use a proper subject line.

Name, class, time,quiz#

It’s not my responsibility to figure out who you are and what class you are in.

* Number your answers so that they correspond to the questions.

1. Take the dog out.

2. What time is it?

3. Joe and Sarah like to dance together.

4. aaa

5. bbb

6. ccc

I just do not time to figure that out for you. You can do that.

* Attachments – most people can do this fine

A few people still do not know how to do attachments. 

If you still do not know how to do attachment, I can help. You have to let me know. You can some time into it also.

* Reading comments. Almost everyone can read my comments. A few people still have not figured it out. Keep working on it. I can help.

Can anybody not read my comments?

* Tests and quizzes are timed. Don’t be late. There is a deadline.

* Test time is not the time to start asking a million questions and explaining why you can’t do the test.

Yesterday, there was way too much talking during the test. Figure out your stuff before test time.
