Makeup Quiz
06/03/12 17:30 Filed in: 481
Since there should be some final exam activity during finals week, we’ll do a final quiz, which you can use to replace the score on another quiz you may have missed or not done so well in. This quiz will be cumulative, covering all the topics discussed throughout the quarter. If you’re not happy with your quiz score, you can also submit additional quiz questions; for details, see the earlier entry on Quiz Makeup Opportunity (Jan 23 Tag “Quiz”).
The final exam time slot is Tue, March 13, 4:10 - 7:00 PM. My plan is to make the quiz available from midnight until 7:00 PM. You don’t need to be on campus to take the quiz, all you need is access to Blackboard. The modus is the same as for the other quizzes: Notes, books, Web lookup is allowed, but collaboration with others and calculation of answers by computer programs are not. In particular, the use of question answering systems like Watson is not permitted.

Quiz Makeup Questions

As in similar classes, students will have the opportunity to improve their scores for the quizzes by submitting makeup questions.
Here are the guidelines for these questions:
- you need to submit your makeup questions within one week of the quiz availability date
- each question adds up to five points to your quiz score; if I need to revise the question or answers, you may get fewer points
- you can submit several questions for each quiz, but your overall quiz score won't be higher than 100 points
- please formulate the questions as plain text format according to the template below. Multiple-choice are my preferred option, but multiple-answers (where more than one answer is correct), fill-in-the-blank, calculated answers, and several others are also available. I've tried free-form text answers as well, but grading those in Blackboard is really tedious - far worse than the paper equivalent.
Question Template:

[X] Answer 3 [Feedback: Why is it correct?]
[ ] Answer 4 [Partial Credit: 0%] [Feedback: Why is it incorrect?]
