Final Exam/Quiz
21/11/11 18:02 Filed in: 480
We discussed the final exam/quiz issue in class a few times, but here’s the gist of it:
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. So in total, there will be nine quizzes, and only the eight highest scores will be counted. 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 (Oct. 10, Tag “Quiz”).
The final exam time slots are Thu, Dec. 8, 7:10 - 10:00 AM for 480-01 and Thu, Dec. 8, 4:10 - 7:00 PM for 480-03. My plan is to make the quiz available from the beginning of the first slot until the end of the second slot, so from 7:10 AM 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.

Quiz Makeup Opportunity

If you're unhappy about your score in a quiz, you can increase it buy submitting alternative questions for the quiz, together with proposed answers.
Here are the guidelines for these questions:
- you need to indicate for which quiz (by week or by topic) the questions are intended
- each question adds up to five points to your overall quiz score; if I need to revise the question or answers, you may get fewer points
- you can submit several questions, 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:
This is a template for a multiple choice question. Which of the following options is the correct or most suitable answer?
[ ] Answer 1 [10%] Why is it incorrect?]
[ ] Answer 2 [30%] [Why is it incorrect?]
[X] Answer 3 [100%] [Why is it correct?]
[ ] Answer 4 [0%] [Why is it incorrect?]
The two columns in square brackets indicate the amount of (partial) credit, and feedback to the student for the selected answer.
