1. Your exam corrections should be done on lined binder paper (or graph paper), following the same format as homework.
   
   
2. Please do not make any new marks on the exam paper after I have graded and returned it.
   
   
3. Write up a correction for any exam item for which I indicated an error or misunderstanding.  For each of these, your correction should
   
1. Tell what was wrong
2. Explain why you made the error (didn't understand the question, didn't know the material, didn't remember something, careless error, etc.). 
3. Give a complete correct solution to the problem.
   
   
4. When you hand in the corrections, also hand back in your exam.
   

Exam corrections will influence my assessment of your portfolio at the end of the course.  Errors on exams show some amount of misunderstanding of the material, and corrections are your chance to learn the ideas you missed.  If your exam corrections do not show that you have learned this material, for example because you still have incorrect answers to some of the exam items, that indicates to me that you do not care very much about whether you understand the missed items.  To make sure you understand your errors and the needed corrections, feel free to talk with classmates, tutors, other students, or me.

Even if you do not plan to complete a portfolio, I still recommend completing and handing in a set of exam corrections.  It is important to understand everything covered on exam 1 to provide a foundation for the new material we will be going on to.
