Why the Changes?
All instructors using Blackboard received an
email asking us to change some settings for quizzes. There are technical
differences with this Blackboard and the prior one. I had been trying to watch
what you all did to be sure that these things did not cause problems for you.
Given the circumstances, however, the safest thing is to:
§ Either change the
settings
§ Or—with the issue of Force Completion—alert
you all of the possible dangers of thinking you can save and resume a test
(That alert I sent by email)
What Students Asked for or Used Effectively Before AND Thus My Goals
for What I Am Doing
Multiple taking of a quiz—with sets--multiple times with sets of questions There were 3 things that I hoped to continue to provide:
Goal 1: A way to test yourself at the beginning so you could tell what you needed to read
Goal 2: A way to still get the promised extra credit (in fact you will get 3 extra credit points instead of the 2)
Goal 3: A way for students to be sure that they know the vocabulary of the nation (what a reading quiz provides), including right before the Unit exam (but it will not be in the Blackboard grade book)
Goal 4: A way to get the full 10 points (but not have Blackboard grade book have a problem)
So How Will It Work?
Solving Goal 1 and Goal 2 - When You Come into the Folder for First Time Period in Unit 2 You Will See
Solving Goal 3 and Goal 4 - After You Do the Check-Your-Knowledge Quiz You Will See
What Other Things .Will I Do?
Currently I am having to test some things and your experiences will tell me what is best for you.
Once that is over, I’ll update the syllabus.
If you need more time for this first one, we can work it out.
