Q: Why don't you give partial credit on quizzes?
A: It has been a long-standing policy that I (the teacher) don't give partial credit.

The quiz corrections will allow the student earn half the points they missed. They are always due on test day.
Q: I am going to be absent for your test. When can I make it up?

It will ensure us that you are not truant. You will be able to take a similar test that your fellow classmates took.
