There is an extensive Help function.
There are four major tabs: Home; Read, Study, and Practice; Assignment; and Gradebook.
The Read, Study, and Practice section includes the e-book, PowerPoints from the textbook publisher,
and a variety of study resources. This section is organized by chapter.
For each chapter, the Read, Study, and Practice section will include a page called "Dr. Riddle's
Resources for Chapter _". Look there for the professor's PowerPoints, study recommendations, extra
study aids, and computer assignments.
The Assignment section will contain the quizzes on which you will be graded.
The Assignment section includes a quiz called Assignment 0, which will help you learn to use
WileyPLUS. This quiz will not be graded.
The Gradebook section will allow you to see your quiz grades.
The Home Page includes a link to Class Section Documents. The Syllabus and Class Schedule will be
placed in that section.
The Home Page also includes a link to Class Announcements. Most announcements will be made in
class or via email. Some announcements may also be placed in the Class Announcements section.

Graded Quizzes


Graded quizzes will be timed. You must complete each quiz in one sitting, and you will have only
one chance to take each quiz.
All questions on the graded quizzes will be taken from the professor's PowerPoint presentations,
including the notes within the presentations.
You will not be allowed to use the Read, Study, and Practice section of WileyPLUS while taking a
graded quiz. If you do not have a hard copy of the textbook, be sure that you have a digital copy or
hard copy of the professor's PowerPoint for the chapter before starting the quiz.
Please note the following information from Wiley about timed quizzes:
You must complete a timed assignment in one session. If you logout of WileyPLUS you
cannot return later to complete a timed assignment like for other WileyPLUS
assignments.
• A logout is usually confirmed by the user, but can be caused unexpectedly by a
server or session timeout as well. Timeouts are commonly caused by a loss of internet
connection. Please ensure your internet connection is stable prior to starting a timed
assignment so that you will not be unexpectedly timed-out and lose access. This is
very important since you cannot return to working on a timed assignment following a
logout/server timeout.
• If you are completing this assignment on a Laptop, we suggest having your power
cable plugged in, as hibernation or sleep modes may disconnect you from the internet
temporarily with some power settings. This disconnection from the internet can cause
a session timeout.
• If you try to click over to the ’Read, Study & Practice’ section while active in a timed
assignment, you will receive a warning message. If you continue to ’Read, Study &
Practice’ after reading the warning message you will lose all access to the timed
assignment.
• Do not open new browser windows and/or tabs while active in a timed assignment.
You may not login to another session (i.e., open a new browser or tab and log into
WileyPLUS) while active in a timed assignment. Your original session will be
terminated and you will lose all access to the timed assignment.
• You will have a specified amount of time to complete the timed assignment. The
clock starts when you access a question in the assignment or click the next button to
move on past the summary page.
• You will have a Timer button above your list of assignment exercises. Click the
Timer button and you will see how much time you have remaining. (Start Time:
01:06 PM / Remaining: 89 min.)
• Remember to click the Submit button once you have entered your answers, to
submit the answers to your instructor’s gradebook. Please be patient while the page
refreshes before clicking to go on to the next question; it may take some time to
load/refresh.
• If you have a technical problem during your timed quiz, please contact WileyPLUS
tech support at www.wileyplus.com/support via our live chat feature.
If a power outage or other unexpected situation prevents you from completing a timed quiz, notify Dr.
Riddle promptly.
