go back to look at the Self-Test again. |

Blackboard
sometimes displays resources, such as dictionary definitions. If it does, use
Ctrl-F (Find) to search the resources for what you missed. (Ask if you need
help.) If
Blackboard does not display the Full-Test, you made a 0 on the Self-Test. (Tip: You can
confirm that at My Grades.) Email bibusc@wcjc.edu with your name, class, and
the exact name of the Self-Test. I will reply back that I deleted the 0 so
you can take the Self-Test. |

Merriam-Webster’s
Online Dictionary defines the word incentive as “something that makes a person try or work hard or
harder.” With quizzes, you earn 1 point for each quiz if by the date in the
announcement if you:
·
Either already
knew the content in the Self-Test and were correct on over 80% of the questions
on that Self-Test, you earn the points for its Full-Test without taking it.
(At the end of each Unit after the Learning Quizzes close, the instructor enters
the points for the Full-Test.)
·
Or did not make 80% or more on the Self-Test, but were correct on over 80%
of the questions on the Full-Test.
Why Do the Full-Tests? 1) Its Full-Test lets you teach yourself any missed
concepts by taking the test as many times as you want and the highest score
counts. 2) Completing either Self-Test or Full-Test to over 80% results in the
1 point incentive. 3) That the highest score counts is also an incentive to
persist—what Duckworth calls “grit,” something everyone needs.) Tip: For a link to Duckworth’s Ted Talk, use the Syllabus & Success Assignment.
