To repeat the Syllabus: Whether Learning Quizzes (concepts
and map locations) or Evidence Quizzes (basics of evidence), quizzes consist
of:
·
A self-test so you find out what you
know and you do not know. The name
is self-test because you are testing yourself so you know
what you need to do.) The goal is
positive so no points are lost. Self-Tests are extra credit and have questions
that are only worth .01. (A .01 is so small that it is equivalent to a penny
compared to a dollar.)
Tip: On the other hand, it is in your
interest to answer Self-Tests accurately so measure your own brain accurately
for 2 reasons:
1. You
want to know what you know and do not know so you can work efficiently and
correct or complete what you do not know.
2. If
you already know the content in the Self-Test and prove that by being correct
on over 80% of the questions on that Self-Test, you earn the points for its
Full-Test without taking it.
The instructor enters those points at the end of each Unit after the Learning Quizzes close.
· Once you submit the self-test, Blackboard automatically displays additional content (if needed) and a Full-Test that has so that you can earn full points while teaching yourself the vocabulary and map locations you do not know. You may repeat as many times as you wish, and your highest score counts.
