Cheating in any form is prohibited.  This test judges what you know on test day.  Test corrections will be allowed after grading is complete, so no need to cheat or plagiarize anyway!  Also, test corrections should decrease the test anxiety!  Once the test is graded, Mr. Cook will "release the grade and comments", and you will be sent an email (from google forms which gives feedback on manually entered point deductions).  Mr. Cook will also tell the students that the email has been sent in class once they are all done.  To prepare for a potential test correction, at that point students should study the released test and see Mr. Cook at an appropriate time for studying help also as Multiple Choice questions do not offer feedback.  Test corrections are only accepted on paper.  On test corrections explain why the correct answer is indeed correct or explain a trick you have to remember it.  Do not just list it.  Thanks.
