Hey everyone!
I wonder if you could share your experience and opinion with me on this one.
When you test your students (I mean as in a written test), you correct it, grade it and then you give it back to them, right? The lesson you do that, what do you usually write in the summary? I always write HANDING BACK AND CORRECTING THE WRITTEN TEST but lots of people in Portugal write DELIVERY AND CORRECTION OF THE WRITTEN TEST. Isn �t this wrong? Delivery?
Thanks in advance!
Hugs,

Delivery - NO! Never... that is wrong, wrong, wrong...
"Handing back..." is correct. Although, I �d say... "Handing back of (corrected) written test." if you are not going to review them.
"Handing back and review of written test" - if you are going to hand them back and then go over them with students.

Could also say "Return and review written tests" |

Delivery!?Never!Where on earth have you seen that here in Portugal?
I usually summarise: Correction of the written test. I see no need in having to write down that you handed in the tests...I mean it �s implicit, isn �t it?
But if you find it absolutely necessary then just use "Handing in the written tests".
There is also no such thing as "Continuation". This I �ve seen before. In this case I usually summarise: Carrying on with ... or Concluding the exercises on....started in the previous lesson.
I hope you find these suggestions useful. |

hi..
here, we call it REMEDIAL WORK..
because the T in this session, rework on the points that s/he finds out, through correcting the exam papers, that the learners don �t assimilate it enough...
then, T gives papers back with NO GRADES ON THEM, learners should now know what they have done wrong and what is the correct answer.. they evalute and correct themselves..
this is why we call it remedial work..

Hi, dear Vera!
I always use "Handing back and correction of the written tests" in my summary.
I �ve never heard the word "delivery" in this context.

Hello Vera,
I always say "Handing in and correcting the written tests".
Bye! |

I �ve always used "handing in " as giving it to the teacher and "handing out" as giving it to the students.
(and never heard "delivering" used in this case) |
