Section 8-1: Testing.
Testing to determine whether you have enhanced your writing performance is, to me, a moot point. The lesson series is arranged to test-so I have interjected tests with each lesson. Certainly if you got all the tests completed with full accuracy the material presented has been ingrained in your memory. If not, then revisiting the lessons until you feel they are fully understood would not be a bad idea.
Basically, if you have scored 91 to 100 % accuracy then you have received an A on this course. If you have scored 81 to 90 % then you have received a B on this course. If you have scored 71 to 80 % then you have received a C on this course. If you have scored 61 to 70 % then you have received a D on this course. Anything below a 60 means you were preoccupied and should revisit the material.
I am interested in learning what your test results are, so I will visit the test center to determine whether the material is prepared in a way that is easily understood. If everyone has a low score, that, of course, is instructor error.
