Reviewing
for
Quiz 2
IMPORTANT:
• Be on time so you’re logged in and ready
to go when I give you the password.
• Bring your
– POWER CORD
– ETHERNET CORD
• SHOW ALL OF YOUR WORK on the
answer/worksheet provided so that we can
award partial credit for partially correct
work or typos.
Preparing for the Quiz:
STEP 1. Take the Practice Quiz
(under Quizzes and Tests , Review for Quiz 2).
•
The practice quiz has the same number of problems as the
real quiz, and has similar problems and will give you a
chance to see the difference between doing problems in a
homework setting vs. a timed quiz with no “help” or “check
answer” functions.
•
Each time you take the practice quiz you’ll get a different
set of questions (not just different numbers in the same
questions), so taking it multiple times will make it more
likely that you’ll have seem most of the types of problems
that will be an the actual quiz.
– You can take the practice quiz as many times
as you want, and the computer will generate
new problems for you each time.
– You don’t need a password to access the
practice versions of tests and quizzes.
– Your best practice quiz score WILL count a
small percentage in your overall course
grade.
– After each try, you can review your quiz and
see how to do the problems you got wrong.
(Come to the open lab if you need help.)
Preparing for the Quiz:
STEP 2. Review the homework from all four
homework assignments using the
“Gradebook” function:
– Click on “Gradebook” menu button
– Select “Homework” in Assignments heading at top
• Go to desired HW section, select “Review”
• You can actually rework problems after the
deadline has passed (to study for quiz, or to
practice any problems you didn’t get to before
the deadline) but it won’t change your grade
Preparing for the Quiz:
STEP 3: Review your notes and/or the online
lecture slides (available online in each
Assignment folder).
