Special note to those of you in Geometry, there are two ways to bring your test grade up to an 80%:
1) retake the test, schedule two meetings, one to go over the old test and the other to take a new version of the test for a max of 80%.
2) submit by the end of next week a full list of each term from the chapter defined (in words and/or pictures) this option is for scores less than 60%, you'll get plus 20%. See me for a copy of each definition so that you can copy it, or define them in your own words with diagrams when appropriate.
