• NOTE: Regarding the test on Wednesday, I know that a lot of people had time issues and were not confident they did OK ... I have not graded the test yet, and I typically do assign a curve for the second test, BUT if I find that there are major class-wide problems due to the test being too long, I will offer a re-test next week for those who want to take it.  The test would be the same as the one I gave (except with different elements -- words, tenses, reading passage, etc), but I would arrange for an additional time allowance.  I think it is pretty likely that this will happen.  So don't despair.
