ENRICHED: Midterm test corrections information

As promised, students have the option of earning back up to half of the points they missed on their midterm test. Only whole points lost are eligible for corrections (if a question is marked -.5, it can't be corrected).

For each answer that was incorrect, students must both

(1) define the key concepts tested in a question in their own words and
(2) provide either an example of those concepts or an extended explanation of those concepts in their own words.

You should be able to find information on these topics on the test study guide and in your course readings and notes. You may also use a textbook during silent study hall before or after school.

Here are the key concepts that were tested:
