<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Your first quiz for credit is this coming Sunday. Here’s some updates about your<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">recitations and quizzes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">1) Just to make sure all of you understand the quiz “window” and “time limit” here it is.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The quizzes will be similar to the paper quizzes I would give in recitation if we were all<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">in person and the TAs could grade as we normally do. This means the quizzes will<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">generally technically be around 40 min quizzes. You will get 60 minutes for each quiz.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">If you can’t finish, this would likely indicate you don’t understand the material as well as<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">you should.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The quiz will be open between 7 and 10 PM on Sunday. That’s a 3-hour window in<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">which you can start the 60-min quiz. However, you must start by 9:00 PM if you want<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">the full 60 min for the quiz. The quiz will automatically submit at 10 PM, whether you’re<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">done or not.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">2) You must work independently. You are not allowed to get help or give help. You are<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">not allowed to use the internet for help or upload any part of the quiz to the internet, even<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">after the quiz is over. It is open-book, open-note so you can use those things. However,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">you really won’t have time to be looking things up so don’t depend on that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">3) The quizzes will not require work to be submitted, unless we start seeing evidence<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">of people working together. This will help cut down on your time and our TA’s time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Even so, you will need to do work to answer questions so you should still have something<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">around to work on.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">4) You’re doing “activities” (taking notes) in recitation. I’ve mentioned this previously.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We want you paying attention and participating. Then you upload your notes. Your<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">notes should be extensive enough to show you were paying attention during recitation,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">if not actively participating by asking questions or contributing to any discussion the<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">TA may be leading. The TA will look at your submission and grade it based on what<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">you’ve written. Just submitting the notes won’t assure you of getting the full 5 pts<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">allotted for the recitation attendance score if they’re not extensive enough to show<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">you were paying attention the whole time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Again, e-mail your TA questions you might have by about 6 PM the night before<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">recitation so they can prepare something. It will make for a better experience and<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">you’ll be able to cover more.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Please include your day/time of recitation and TA’s name at the top of your notes. I<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">randomly check things and it makes it easier for me to have this information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Dr. Zellmer<o:p></o:p></span></p>
