What are test corrections?
Test corrections encourage students to form great study habits, attend tutoring sessions,
and review the material they do not understand. It's easy! You upload the key to your
exam on the OSL Canvas Site and let your student know when to come to the OSL. The
OSL Learning Coaches will check each correction, indicating that it has been done
correctly by initialing the correct answer. After all corrections have been made,
the Learning Coach will print their name and the date at the top of the test. The
student will bring you their corrected test to receive additional points (you determine
the number of points they will receive).
How can my class participate in test corrections?
If you would like to participate in test corrections, or for more information, please
contact the OSL at osl@nmt.edu and the OSL will be happy to invite you as an instructor on the OSL Canvas site.
Only participating faculty and OSL tutors have access to this site. OSL Tutoring Schedules
for individual classes are available here.
The OSL can also provide tutoring schedules for specific classes and organize study
sessions for exams. Please let us know what we can do to help your students succeed!
OSL Test Correction Procedures
Schedules are available for each class tutored regularly at the OSL, and the schedules
give times and locations for both OSL and departmental tutoring. These schedules can
be given to your students so that they know when and where to go for both supplemental
tutoring and test corrections.
Procedure:
Test Corrections will be offered Monday - Thursday from 3 - 10 PM in Speare Center.
For all exams, Learning Coaches will check each correction, indicating that it has
been done correctly by initialing the corrected answer.
After all corrections have been made, the tutor will write their name and the date
at the top of the exam.
If there are any errors or you find any problems with corrections, please contact
the OSL and we will do our best to resolve any issues as quickly as possible.
If tutors think that an exam key answer may be incorrect, they are instructed to have
two other tutors to do the problem independently, and then contact the instructor
with a polite email asking how to solve the problem.
Please post the answer key to the Office for Student Learning Canvas site after the
test has been given, but before announcing test corrections to the students.
Upload the test key to the module for your class and name the document or file as
such:
InstructorClassTestNumber.pdf
Example: SmithMATH103Test1.pdf
If you have multiple keys for the same test, include this in the file naming scheme:
Example: BrownMATH231Test1a.doc, BrownMATH2311b.doc
If you would like to participate in test corrections, please contact the OSL at osl@nmt.edu
and the OSL will be happy to invite you as an instructor to the Canvas Site.
