Note started 10/22 and update 10/23 Personal note from your prof: I thought I was getting tired all weekend. Now I have a bug that has more power than I do. I set up some changes that required new pictures in order to try to help students, but realize now that I need to go back and lie down. The below says the tasks to do in Getting Started—including Mark Reviews. |

When you encounter the Mark Review button (not counting
the one under Getting Started), click on at least 10 of them. Some are in: ·
Getting Started ·
Learning Modules ·
Unit 1 (and will not be visible until
the date in the List of Due Dates) ·
Shortcuts to All Graded Work They are worth 1 each. Blackboard provides a list of who
clicked on each one and when. I will collect them on the day that Getting
Started ends. (Hmm. Sometimes I
count points for them all as a
little extra credit.) If you cannot tell which does what
(especially the 1st one, you had better ask). One of the reviewed
items does each of these things: 1.
Is the only safe source of dates for you to start planning your work and when you submit your work. Tips: When it says 11:59 PM, Blackboard means it. If you
think you do not have to plan and you just click, change now. You will find
this in 2 places. 2.
Is how you can see what textbook
chapters serve as a reference for which lessons? 3.
Is where you state exactly what you
plan to do to make the grade you want for the course. Tip: Put this where you can see it each
day so you do not forget. In an on-campus class, what the other students are
doing or what the teacher reminds you of saves you. Your habits have to save yourself in a Distance Education class. 4.
Is the Getting Started activity that
helps you read the Syllabus and be
both successful and avoid vile risks. 5.
Is the discussion where you can ask
and answer questions about the whole course. (Also
read it for the questions others were smart enough to ask. No question is
dumb.) 6.
Is where you will find the folder
with everything you need for Unit 1’s time period. 7.
Is where you will find the folder
with the instructions you must follow exactly and within the 3-week period to
be able to take the Final Exam. (And history instructors are required to fail
you for the whole course if you do
not take it.) 8.
Is where you will find the folder for
all the Evidence Quizzes and all the Required Writing on the date in the List
of Due Dates. 9.
Is where you will find only the tools
you use to submit work with in Blackboard 10.
Is the statement explaining Cautions
about shortcuts 11.
Is a list of the work you submit with
in Getting Started and a caution there 12.
Is a list of the work you submit for
a Unit
13.
Is how you can find a reminder of
everything you must do in the Unit. (There is 1 for
each Unit.) 14.
Is how you know what to learn to
prepare for 70% of the possible questions on each Unit Exam.
(There is 1 for each Unit.) 15.
Is how you can learn those 70% of the
possible questions by using materials provided by your instructor.
(Within a Unit, there are 3 to 4 of these, with your needing to mark reviewed
on the last of the 4.) 16.
Is how you can find quizzes to teach
yourself the exact questions for the other 30% of the Unit Exam.
(There is 1 folder that contains all of these for each Unit. Each Unit has a
folder.) 17.
Once inside, mark reviewed on the
how-to-do-this information. (And also read it.) 18.
Once inside, look at the lines (----) to indicate the beginning of a quiz and then
mark reviewed on the first one. |
