Spanish Quiz and Exam

My Spanish class was recently given a geography exam in which we needed to label five countries and five capitals. I studied the night before and felt comfortable with all of the countries and capitals of the Spanish speaking world. After having taken the exam I thought I missed one. I was not sure of one particular country we had to identify and I was torn between Guatamala or Nicaragua. Naturally, I chose the wrong country, Guatamala. I was slightly surprised when I received my test back and saw a fat 70 written across the top. As it turns out, the other two errors were only technical. I neglected to put an accent in Panamá and I wrote "Dominican Republic" instead of "República Dominicana." I would have appreciated some partial credit because, technically, I had identified the countries as asked, but I am not going to fight the grade.

We also received our chapter five tests back today. This test felt slightly easier than the chapter four test and I finished it fairly quickly, both of which made me wonder how strong my results would be. I was anticipating a "B" because of my gut feeling and that I had some concerns over a few of my answers. After finishing I took an extra moment and went over my answers and ended up changing one. It's a good thing I did because had I not, I would not have received the 100 on the exam.

Chapter five test and the geography quiz are posted to the right.
