Please note that all tests/exams are "open book." You may refer to any materials available for the course. Tests are timed, however, and may be taken only once. If you have a problem taking a test please contact me right away.

Please note that the grade you receive from the computerized test is not necessarily your final grade for the test. Often I revise the grades upward.

Why doesn't the test or exam cover all of the assigned reading? These online tests/exams area quick "spot checks" of items in the readings. Requiring online tests/exams that would take 30-60 minutes to complete could add to student frustration with broken Internet connections and difficulties with staring at a computer screen for long periods of time. I have decided to spare you from that!

Although all of the required readings and viewings are not tested, these materials are important for assignments later in the course. Well prepared students in this course look ahead for required topics in the course papers and take careful notes as the readings occur that address their particular assigned issues.

All tests and exams in this course may be taken only once.

REMEMBER for user name give your full name.

Group Research (U15.1) Scenarios Summary Research. Collaborate by placing items in your group's DropBox folder and or by email. Your participation will be graded as part of the assignment.

Email addresses will be placed in the group Dropbox folder. Email all of those on the list including Dr. Ewell (tewell@towson.edu) if you choose to communicate this way.

Students must share work and correspondence via their group Dropbox or by email. Documents shared by Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, Facebook, etc. will not count for credit in the course.

Group members may divide up the tasks for research. Each group will be responsible for how tasks are assigned, how communication takes place, and ensuring the quality of the group's research.

Research must include the materials presented in this course and the course Bibliography. Additional information should be found as well.

Be sure to label the files with your contribution in Dropbox with your last name and then the subject. For example, Ewell_Napster_Copyright.docx. This will help your group members and me to more quickly assess your contributions.

Scenarios for the final papers are contained in the Journal 13 template 

Getting the Most Out of Your Group Research

There are several important aspects of your group research that you will not be able to duplicate on your own. Each of you brings important life experiences and insights that are unique and can inform the research of the group and the outcome of the papers in the course.
