Discussion
Part 1: I will sent the logins once done readings because the quiz is 10 minutes and will have to answer the random question given based on the readings it asks for.
Quiz Details
You will have one chance to complete the quiz.
You will be assigned one of several quiz questions. Canvas will randomly assign the question to you.
The quiz question will ask you to answer a question regarding one or two texts or videos assigned for this week.
Please consult the reading/viewing questions for this week. The quiz questions are always based on or inspired by the reading/viewing questions.
You may consult the course readings/videos, notes you’ve taken on the material, and anything else that’s from Canvas that relates to the reading/viewing material.
Your response should be between 100 and 150 words. More is welcome.
A strong quiz response includes three elements:
Is focused; quality is more important than quantity. Instead of identifying three examples and briefly explaining each, it is better to focus your attention on one or two examples instead.
An accurate description of an example, pattern, or idea from the reading/viewing material that is relevant to the prompt. Quoting is optional.
A thorough explanation that addresses how the example, pattern, or idea you reference addresses the prompt.
Overall, a quiz response should demonstrate your understanding of the reading/viewing material and ability to answer the prompt.
Time Frame
Quizzes open on Sundays and close on Tuesdays. You have 10 minutes to complete the quiz.
Part 2: I will send the student response tomorrow before the dead line
