General recitation and quiz information

[Zellmer, Robert]

Your first quiz for credit is this coming Sunday.  Here's some updates about your
recitations and quizzes.

1) Just to make sure all of you understand the quiz "window" and "time limit" here it is.

The quizzes will be similar to the paper quizzes I would give in recitation if we were all
in person and the TAs could grade as we normally do, except you won't be providing
explanations or showing work. This means the quizzes will generally technically be
around 25-30 min quizzes.  You will get 40 minutes for each quiz.  Essentially, you'll
be getting about the same amount of time or more per question that you'll get on the
midterms.  If you can't finish, this would likely indicate you don't understand the
material as well as you should.

The quiz will be open between 7 and 10 PM on Sunday. That's a 3-hour window in
which you can start the 40-min quiz.  However, you must start by 9:20 PM if you want
the full 40 min for the quiz.  The quiz will automatically submit at 10 PM, whether
you're done or not.

If you have a conflict with this time period on Sunday you should contact me ASAP.

2) You must work independently.  You are not allowed to get help or give help.  You are
not allowed to use the internet for help or upload any part of the quiz to the internet, even
after the quiz is over.  It is open-book and open-note so you can use those things (e-Text,
you class notes, lecture videos, etc.) but not other sites (like Chegg, CourseHero,
Wikipedia, etc.).  However, you really won't have time to be looking things up so don't
depend on getting a lot of help from the book, notes, etc.  You need to know the
material.

3) The quizzes will not require work to be submitted, unless we start seeing evidence
of people working together.  This will help cut down on your time and our TA's time.
Even so, you will need to do work to answer questions so you should still have something
around to work on.  I suggest using your iPad for your scratch paper.  That way if you
have a question about a quiz question I can see your work, otherwise I won't know what
you did.

4) The quizzes will have multiple-choice, multi-answer, drop-down, fill-in-the-blank,
numeric and formula questions (randomly generated numbers).  I will not be using
drag-and-drop.

5)  A link to an information and periodic table page specific to the quiz will be in the
instructions for the quiz.  Use the PT and info page I provide.

6)  Do NOT use the Canvas app. for quizzes or exams.  You should be able to use
your iPad but I don't suggest that for the quizzes if you have a computer.  Your
computer has a bigger screen making it easier to see things.  Then you can use your
iPad as your scratch pad.

8)  There's a "Quiz Information and Instructions" module in the "Recitation" module
in Carmen.  Read it before the quiz on Sunday.

9) You're not doing official "activities" in recitation.  I've mentioned this previously.
We still want you paying attention and participating.  Come with questions.  We want
to get your questions answered.  I suggest using Notability on your iPad to take notes
in recitation.

You are getting 5 pts max for coming to recitation.  I've covered this previously in the
syllabus, e-mail, my webpage and on Carmen.

There's an "Attendance Verification Instructions" module in the "Recitations" module
in Carmen.

10)  Again, e-mail your TA questions you might have by about 6 PM the night before
recitation so they can prepare something.  It will make for a better experience and
you'll be able to cover more.
