Can I make up or redo my test or quiz if I failed it?

If your score is less than 70, you may do the following:
   Meet with me for extra help and correct the problems.
   Complete extra problems of the type you originally got wrong.
   Submit those extra problems within 2 weeks of the original quiz
     date.
   Your score will then be adjusted to 70.

Keep in mind the lowest quiz score (not test) will be dropped 
each term as long as you have taken 4 or more quizzes!
