Hello Fabulous Students,
I have received a few emails about the practice quiz that is on the Schedule and Syllabus. Don't worry about taking the Practice Quiz. This is an assignment I usually give students during a normal semester (when I have 200 online students to manage), to encourage students to read through the materials on D2L. However, during the summer session I find that students are a bit more 'on the ball' with reading through materials and such.
As long as you complete everything else that I have outlined for the week (especially the readings), you're doing great.
As always, email me with any questions you might have about the class. I'm only teaching 3 summer classes and therefore have quite a bit of time for each student. Don't be shy - if you want to chat with me for any reason, we can chat during office hours on Yahoo Messenger, through email, and of course I'm always happy to give you a call to chat.

It might help if there was a practice test simply because I have never taken a course through SJSU on line yet. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's really easy. The practice test was intended for students in a normal semester to actually read through all of the material required for the first week of class. I'm happy to answer students questions, but when the information is available on D2L and students have simply 'overlooked' reading it thus send me an email with repetitive questions, it can get kind of hectic. With 200 online students in a normal semester, juggling all of those emails can be quite time consuming.
ReplyDeleteHowever, taking a test on D2L is simple. You click on the link of the test when it becomes available and answer the questions. If there is an issue with any of the tests or quizzes, students can always email me and we figure out a solution together.
