All quizzes in this course will be given using
UWF's eLearning system. The eLearning system is a course management tool used for delivering online courses and
has a variety of features. By virtue of being registered in this course, you have
access to the quizzes as I make them available. The quizzes available allow
me and you to monitor your own
comprehension of the resources. The quiz grades
are calculated as part of your final grade in this course. The purpose of the quizzes is to
check your comprehension and
to
identify areas in which you may need to ask for
clarification from your instructor in order to continue with other
assignments. Other graded assignments will be
given that will ask you to apply these same ideas and concepts, therefore, it is essential that you understand the meaning of the
concepts presented prior to their application in other assignments.
Before you take the first quiz, be sure to run a system check
(you will see the link listed on the main page of the elearning system where you log in) on your computer prior to using the system to minimize any technical glitches you may have when completing quizzes.
All quizzes
will be time-limited. The time limit will be set according to the length of
the quiz and types of items included. This means that on one quiz you
may have 60 minutes while another quiz you may have 120 minutes.
When each quiz is introduced in a lesson I will also indicate the time
allotted for the quiz. The first week I allot some extra time for
quizzes to give you a chance to get oriented and comfortable with the
system. Once you log-in to a quiz, there will be a clock for you to use to
monitor your remaining time. There is also a 5-minute grace period
for that last save or click on the submit button. The quizzes will
be turned off at 5 PM on the day they are due.
No late quizzes will be accepted. (A quiz is considered late if it is submitted after the due date and time or after the time limit has expired.)
I strongly suggest that
you save your quiz/answers as you go (there is a save button at each
question). There is also a save entire quiz option at the end of each
quiz. To complete and submit your quiz, you must click on the submit
quiz button at the bottom of the page. If you have technical questions about the
quizzes within the elearning system, feel free to email Melissa.
- Once you are ready to begin the Quiz, logon to
eLearning.
- Select the "Quizzes" section.
- Select the Quiz you want to take (e.g. 'File
Format Quiz'). Carefully watch the clock as you work through the quiz. Save as you go. Click the
Submit button when you are done.
- You can view your score
on the Quiz immediately upon completing the quiz unless there are short
answer items that I must grade
prior to providing a final score.
Notes:
- Correct answers and
your final score will not be made available until the following week when everyone
has taken
the quiz and I have hand-graded those items that require manual grading (such as short-answer questions and fill-in-the-blank items).
- If you misspelled a word in a fill-in-the blank item,
and the only reason you did not receive credit for the item was because of the misspelling, I will give you credit for the item when I manually grade the quiz.
