Assignments: There are 12 unit assignments which includes an article review and the discussion participation. Each of the assignments counts 20 point the total of 200 points, 10 points for the article review and 10 points for the discussion participation. That means Two of the lowest grades will be dropped.
Quizzes: There are multiple choice questions over the textbook material. There are 12 quizzes each counts10 point. Two of the lowest grades will be dropped, therefore the total of 100 points. The quiz will be given at the beginning of the each week and you have 10 minutes to complete the quiz. You will only get one attempt to complete the quiz. Please follow your class calendar and your instructor for any changes.
These are few steps you can take so you have no problem taking the quiz:
Before taking the quiz:
- Do not take the quiz until ready.
- Close down all other programs running on the computer. Having multiple programs open may cause problems that result in loss of quiz data.
- Use FireFox 2 or Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher to take the quiz. Other browsers can cause problems.
- Do not resize or refresh the screen after loading the quiz; make sure it is the size you want before going into the quiz. Most browsers refresh the page when you resize the screen. This means it will try to reload the quiz and may prohibit you from taking the test (it will lock you out of the test).
- Do not wait until the last minute to take the quiz. If something goes wrong there won't be enough time to resolve the issue.
- eCampus has a 3-hour login limit. If you have been logged in for a while, you might log out and log back in before taking a quiz, to ensure that you will not get kicked out due to being logged in for more than 3 hours. (Again, this may not seem logical but we didn’t write the software.)
During the Quiz:
- When entering the quiz, click the link only once. Sometimes it takes a while to load the quiz. If you click twice, you will get a message saying you already took the quiz and you will be prohibited from completing it.
- Do not use the back and forward buttons while taking a quiz. Instead, use the arrow keys to navigate.
- Do not click on the Submit button until you are either done or have run out of time.
- Click Submit only once; it may take a few moments to receive confirmation of successful submission. Even if it takes longer than you expect, don’t click again. It will be much faster with a single click.
- Fill-in-the-blank questions are case sensitive. Your Faculty will review these types of questions and manually award points accordingly.
- If you are working at home on a dial-up connection, make sure your ISP time-out settings are set to the maximum allowed time.
- Do not use the SAVE option in assessments – it does not work.
Mid-term Exam: Your Mid-term includes a test and a paper. Each of them counts 50 points, total of 100 points.
Final Exam: The final exam is a group project and counts 100 points.
Due Dates and Late Work:
Due Dates are stated in the class calendar(if provided).If the calendar is not provided your instructor will explain to you how the due dates will work. Any variations must be discussed with your instructor. No late work is accepted. Exceptions may be granted by the instructor on an individual basis.
Handing the assignments:
All assignments will be posted on Richland College Student Server site, unless the assignment states otherwise.
Grading turn around:
I will try to post your grades within a week I receive your work.
Grade reports are no longer mailed. Convenient access is available online or by telephone. Use your student identification number when you log in to eConnect or call Touch Tone Services.
Here is the link to the Academic calendar
