Excursions Bulletin Board and Online Quizzes
My hope is that you will find the
Bulletin Board throughout this course. I expect this
Bulletin Board to be useful. Please give me lots of
feedback concerning this. I will try to refrain from
answering your questions immediately. I want the Bulletin
Board to be a means of exchanging ideas between and among
students in this class. If you have a question for
me, please come see me or send it to me by
eMail.
There are Online Quizzes for each
chapter. The deadline for these Online Quizzes is
1300 (that's one o'clock pm) of the day listed in
this calendar for the homework from that chapter. The
questions are given at the end of the assigned homework. The
questions -- with their answers -- are repeated
following that. You can take the Online Quizzes a maximum of
five times. These Online Quizzes will be normalized
to 100 points and count the same as one hour exam. There is
no reason that everyone should not get 100
points on these Online Quizzes.
Just don't wait until the deadline.
Computers are contankerous! Networks do go down!
