Quiz Information

All quizzes run from 5:00 AM Sunday morning and expire sixty (60) hours later at 5:00 PM on that Tuesday of the same week. Actual dates and coverage listed on the next page of this syllabus. Given the time window to complete the quizzes (60 hours), make-ups/extensions are not permitted. There are no exceptions to this policy.
All quizzes will: Be based on the weekly PowerPoint and required reading assignment detailed on the next page. Be in the ASSIGNMENTS folder on Blackboard during the availability time listed on the next page. Contain 25 questions. Be True/False and Multiple Choice type questions. Have questions presented one at a time with no backtracking. Have questions randomly drawn for each student from a large set and then randomized again. Have only one (1) attempt. Have a one (1) hour time period to complete the quiz once started. Quiz scores are curved at the end of the quarter (after all quizzes are finished) with the percentages shown on Page 1 of this syllabus applied to your average quiz score as follows: 21 + = A 20 = A19 = B+ 18 = B 17 = B16 = C+ 15 = C 14 = C13 = D+ 12 = D 11 = D10 and below F

For example, if someone had an average quiz score for the 8 quizzes of 15, they would receive 75% of the 200 points (which is equal to 150) for all of their quizzes combined at the end of the quarter. If you get logged out of the quiz do not panic. Read the following carefully: Close your browser entirely, then re-launch and log back into Blackboard. o Go to "Assignments" and click on the quiz, it will start right up where you left off. o If it gives you an error message, restart your computer and try again. The timer continues to run, so make sure to get back in as soon as possible so that you can finish in the one hour allotted. In any case, if you leave yourself enough of a time buffer, you will be able to resume taking the quiz, even if the hour limit has passed. Send me an email explaining what happened if you go over the one hour limit. If you do not send me an email prior to the quiz expiring, you will receive no credit for the quiz (0 out of 25 points).
