 Multitasking As you will see for each examination, the questions cause you to research your answers from the course lectures, the textbook chapters, and outside sources. You may use any sources to prepare your answers and, in addition to the textbook, you will list four sources that were most useful in preparing your answers. Do not list more than these five sources Because all exams are posted from the first day, you have increasing amounts of time to prepare the exams in the sequence shown below. Do not wait to begin preparing exam responses. Consider each exam to be a mini term paper, not a two-hour in-class exam. You should expect to spend about nine hours per week on course materials, equivalent to three hours lecture and six hours homework in an in-person class. This yields about 30 hours for preparation and writing each exam during a fifteen week term. The amount of time you have for preparation of each exam is greater for each successive exam. Print out every exam the first day of class and refer to them as you read chapters and find outside sources in preparation for each exam. During the first weeks of the course, concentrate on the first exam but note where information that supports later exams is found. It may be useful to organize your exam notes in four separate file folders with each containing one of the exams, notes from reading, and printouts of sources used with citations and URLs. Chapter Quizzes Quizzes are not timed. Each quiz is posted at least five days before the deadline for submission. Each quiz will be closed after the deadline has passed. Do not miss deadlines; complete the quizzes early. Regardless of due date and time, a quiz can be completed for credit if the link to the quiz is active, even after the deadline. Open each chapter quiz as it becomes available and print it out. The chapters on which the quiz is based are noted above the questions on each quiz. Read the textbook chapter(s) and circle the correct answers as you find them. Once all questions have been answered, return to the online quiz page, fill in your name, your animal code, and your email address accurately, enter your answers, and submit the quiz. You will receive a confirmation email with a confirmation number after you submit a chapter quiz. (You will not receive a confrmation email for the survey quiz.) If you do not receive a confirmation email, you may have entered your email address incorrectly or the confirmation may have been delivered to your spam folder. If not received, re-submit the quiz. Keep the quiz printout until quiz scores are posted. |
