Why the Changes to the Quizzes and How Am I Trying to Make This Still Work for You?

 

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

Multiple taking of a quiz—with sets--multiple times with sets of questions There were 3 things that I hoped to continue to provide:

§  A way to test yourself at the beginning so you could tell what you needed to read.

§  A way for students to do later self-testing, especially close to the Unit exam

§  A way to get the full points

So How Will It Work?

 When You Come into the Folder for First Time Period in Unit 2 You Will See

 

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.
