Take home tests are completed outside the classroom and are meant to measure a student's understanding of concepts as well as their ability to organize information. When writing answers, students should connect ideas from multiple sources like textbooks, notes, movies, and guest speakers. Students should avoid plagiarism by using citations and limiting direct quotes. It is important to proofread answers carefully and make copies of completed tests before submitting in case the original is lost or damaged. Students should avoid waiting until the last minute to work on take home tests, as they require time for multiple drafts, proofreading, and finalizing.
