TEST AND HOMEWORK INFORMATION. Click here to return to the Math 1113 home page. Online Homework. There will be online homework assignments for Math 1113. In general, there will be a homework assignment for each section of the text. WebQuiz. There will be two WebQuizzes for each of the four tests, plus an 9th WebQuiz after Test 4. Each WebQuiz will contain 10 or 15 questions and cover specific sections in the book. The online homework and Webquizzes are there to help you learn the material in the course. You are free to use the book, use your class notes, work with a friend or use any other material when working on these assignments. In the homework, you may try practice versions of each question prior to submitting an answer for grading. Each WebQuiz has a deadline. The deadline depends on your Testing Group. There are two testing groups this semester. Your instructor will tell you which testing group you are in. The two lowest WebQuiz grades will be dropped at the end of the semester. You have three submissions for each WebQuiz problem. All questions that are completely correct after the first submission are given full credit. Questions (or parts of questions) that are correct only after the second submission are given 75% credit. Questions (or parts of questions) that are correct only after the third submission are given 65% credit. You can work on a WebQuiz in several sessions without affecting the score. After you have submitted a question for grading, parts of a question that are correct have a green check mark, and incorrect parts are marked with a red x. DON'T RESUBMIT ALREADY CORRECT ANSWERS--THAT IS PENALIZED LIKE A SECOND TRY. Once the deadline for a WebQuiz has passed, the assignment will be released and you can view the key in WebAssign. WebAssign Tips. You will not be able to start the online assignments until you are enrolled in WebAssign. You can enroll in WebAssign with the classkey from your instructor. You have essentially unlimited time to do your work, and you may close an assignment after you have worked on it for awhile and come back to it at a later time. Your only time constraint is the assignment's deadline. Please make sure that you finish your assignments by the set deadline. It is recommended that you not wait until the very last few minutes before the deadline to submit your WebQuiz. Traffic on the server may be heavy at this time and the server may be slow. You should view the online homework and WebQuizzes as aids for learning the material and preparing for the tests. If you use the assignments wisely, the work can yield real benefits. If you abuse the online system, you will most likely gain very little from the experience. Test Information Each test will have 12 questions, and each test is 75 minutes in duration. You will have two tries on every question. You can submit each question or part of a question for grading individually. After a submission, Problems will be clearly marked correct or incorrect. At all times, a clock with your available time and your current test score are available. Questions (or parts of questions) that are correct after the first submission will be given full credit. Questions (or parts of questions) that are correct only after the second submission will be given 75%. If you have any questions about the grading of a question on your test, you should check with your instructor. Scratch paper will be provided by the lab. Hand in your scratch paper when you complete the exam. After the exam is over for everyone in the course, your instructor will receive your scratch paper. If you believe that the computer graded a question incorrectly, you may bring this to the attention of your instructor. If it is clear from your scratch work that you correctly answered the question, but made a typographical error in entering your answer on the computer, the instructor, may, at his or her discretion, give you credit for the problem. Under no other circumstances will your instructor award credit for scratchwork. The instructor may also award credit in the rare instance that you entered the answer correctly in WebAssign but the computer graded it incorrectly. Makeup Exams Make-up tests may be given in the event of unavoidable conflicts. You should contact your instructor and provide him/her with documentation as to why you missed your exam. It is very important that you act quickly; there is a limited window in which these exams are administered. Please note that there are no makeups for the Final Exam.
