Grades 

Please check in My Grades for details on your grades. The syllabus, Green Sheet.doc, which is also posted in WebCT on the navigation bar, gives the breakdown. You earn a total of 500 points which I divide by 5 to get your percentage and give you a letter grade.

The Assignments are worth 250 points (10 assignments at 25 points each). The tests are worth 50 points (Test 1 is 50 points/2 and Test 2 is 175/7). The Discussions are worth 50 points (I gave 10 points for participation as we did not have a chat, except at the orientation).

Basically, if you did the work and understood the assignments you were able to complete the course. Thank you to those of you who kept up your work and submitted everything. I know how fast the summer courses are and how difficult it is to avoid all the wonderful summer distractions to keep at it.

Notes and News 

Hello class: we are now in Week 4 with only 2 weeks to go. We are doing a lot of work in a short time. If you haven't started on your Research Paper please be sure you have my then complete your assignment. Be sure you cite all your sources using the MLA style--check the library handouts --if you prefer to use the APA style because of your discipline, check out that handout from the same library website.

When you have submitted your Research Paper, create a presentation (PowerPoint or other) with a summary of your paper. Send it to me via the assignment box and post it in discussions. I will copy and post on this blog. Look in the archives for previous presentations.

Test 2 will open on July 18 and close on the 24th. There is a little overlap in time but please finish early to avoid disapointment. The tests are based on the tutorials and readings and may also pose a research question on which you can search the Internet for an answer.

I am in Seattle now but have been in the Olympic National Park in Washington State without Internet access for a couple of days. Do come and visit this beautiful natural park when you can. It is well worth a visit.

TEST (1) One and other notes 

Test 1 is open now and will remain open for a week. Do not wait until the last day because the software seems to do funny things with the date. Last I heard, it was on Eastern Standard Time or something like that. Read or print out the test, research the answers and read the text book, then go back in and take the test in a couple of hours. It will allow two attempts. Be sure you Save Answer on each question and also press Finish at the end of the test. If you don't do this I will not be able to grade your test. After I grade the tests you will be able to see your scores on My Grades.
