Quiz (Unit 8)

This kind of exam is for you to evaluate yourself. You can work with a group of classmates in the library or information center. Then you can exchange papers and correct among you. This is what teachers call Co-evaluation; it implies that the students evaluate the work of others. It can be used for practical work, like this practice, to provide feedback before you take the real exam, quiz or test.
