Skill-Based Training: You can go through
this UNLIMITED times, 5 tries per
question. Basically, it’s a free “A”. It’s
trying to teach you something.
MyITLab

Skill-Based Training: They’re pretty
obvious if you know the material already.
WANT TO BLOW THEM OFF? You may.
Then that 10% goes to the Skill-Based
Exam (which then counts 50%) for that
chapter.
MyITLab

Skill-Based Exam: You can go through
these TWO times, 5 tries per question.
Each time you have 1 hour total. Your
best score will be saved.
◦ Computer crashed? Family emergency? That’s
why we’re giving you two tries… pretend your
first try is your ONLY try.
MyITLab

Grader-Project Homework: You can go
through UNLIMITED times. You should
view these as training for the GraderProject Assessment. These count 10%,
and they’re pretty obvious if you know the
material already. WANT TO BLOW THEM
OFF? You may. Then that 10% goes to
the Grader-Project Assessment (which
then counts 50%) for that chapter.
