I will grade the qui" and go over it with ou at that time. o Option B - .o not take the qui". If ou choose this option# our test grade from that unit will count as both as our missing qui" grade and our test grade. I do this because one of the most important da s of class is when we go over the qui""es. I do not want ou to have to wait in the hall during this important discussion. /ather# I will hand ou a cop of the qui" that was taken and ou should pa close attention to the discussion that occurs during class that da since stud ing the problems from the qui""es is a good wa to stud for a test.
