18. Keeping your work Once I receive your email, it will be sent to your class folder. I will open your test packet in my notability app, check and grade it, and send it back to you. Today I will just check and make sure that I received your test packet. It is important to keep these emails and keep your packets for studying and ultimately for semester exams. These will be your study packets. It might be a good idea to print your finalized packets to have a hard copy to study with if you choose to.
