Assignments (Sep. 3)

Preparation for Test 1, Copyright and Plagiarism.

Only take the Copyright and Plagiarism Test AFTER you have reviewed the materials above. The test is timed, randomized, and you may take it only once. Be sure to press the submit button at the end of the test.

Please note that all tests 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 readings? These online tests/exams are 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!

What is the difference between a Test and an Exam? Exams cover more course material and also are given more weight in the final grade.

Do all the students take the same Test or Exam? Tests and exams are randomized in this course, drawn from a pool of questions. As a result some questions will be different and certainly the questions will be arranged in different order in the tests or exams.

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.
