Each in-class quiz is closed-book and closed-notes. Students will receive the entire class period to complete each in-class quiz. Each quiz will be graded based on 50 points. When determining students’ final grades, I will drop the quiz with the lowest mean-adjusted score. There will be no “make-up” quizzes. The provision to drop your lowest quiz score is made to provide for recruiting conflicts, unexpected emergencies or pre-arranged travel. Group Project. The written group project report will be due on Canvas by 11pm on Monday, April 8th. Details of the project can be found on Canvas. This project is to be completed in groups of 4 to 6 students. Groups can be formed from students across any of my three sections. Note that students who have trouble finding a group will be assigned to one by me. Once you have formed your group, please register your group and its members on Canvas no later than February 4th. On-line Homework. Over the course of the semester, there are seven on-line assignments homework (designed OL HWx on the syllabus). These homeworks are set up as brief online quizzes that ask three to five questions about the materials required for the day’s class preparations – Prof. Blouin – Spring 2013 2 particularly on days where case preparation is required. The point of these homeworks is to ensure that students have read the class/case materials and understand some of the
Your report should be approximately 1000 words and that includes graphics as tables and charts to illustrate the information collected and analyses. Your report must be written in clear and concise English so as to be readable by diverse groups.
Once the student has finished the quiz the program should be able to produce a final score out of ten
Providing students with examples of appropriate questions to be used for conducting an inquiry. The teacher will check the appropriateness of the students’ questions before their inquiry begins.
The paper will be worth five points and is graded on completion, another five points will be assigned to class participation for the pre assessment. If students are actively and respectfully participating they will receive all five points.
This is an individual assignment as a single report in two parts. Candidates are encouraged
Hi Professor. while I was taking the quiz run out time, I did not realized the time was ending. So did not get a time to send, I answered all questions, but I was rechecking to make sure it all right and saved. I think it were couple of questions that I did not saved too. I real liked having second
Our group codes were as follows: I (Halah Alwatban; g00059138) am an ENFP, (Mahnoush Karima; g00048721) is an ESFJ, (Shahd Osman; g00057210) is an ENFJ, (Ayesha Alrafi, g00048022) is an ESFP, and (Hamda Al Mulla; g00052271) is an ENFP. To be honest, this group was a complete disaster. This might sound harsh, but I’ve never hated group work as much as this one, my grade is at risk because of them. I felt that I needed to know each group member’s personality type to see if they match the description.
In our Learn to Learn module with Niamh Hearns we had to get together in a group to take photographs for 20% of the overall marks. Before we could get started on the assignment we had to decide our group name and how would we get the teams together. As the class representative, I decided to pick teams randomly, resulting in one team of five and one team of four. After we got our teams together it was time to start the assignment.
Small group: Communication with a group of people. Gender and group leadership; group vulnerability; groups and stories; group decision making; task difficulty. At least 3 and less than seven.
I’m very protective of my groups, requiring you to have either a PUBLIC PROFILE, OR BE MINE OR MY WIFE"S FRIEND, so we can see all your profile and be assured you are for real and NOT SCAMMERS, SPAMMERS, MULTILEVEL MARKETERS, etc!
Make-up for a missed exam will be allowed only with the presentation of a valid excuse (I will be the judge; a doctor’s certificate will be necessary in case of ill health). It is unfair for some people to have more time to prepare for an exam than others. Make ups have to be taken within one week of the missed test.
Doing the assignments allows you to practice your understanding of that knowledge and will make things easier on the exams. Some classes don’t have a final exam. In these cases the homework will likely be worth a much larger portion of your mark and the marks lost from ignoring it could cause you to fail the course. In some cases, the homework you can do is able to be used on open note tests or quizzes. Having many of the answers already inside of your notes can make a test trivial to do well on. Doing homework isn’t always about the work itself. Of you are someone who has a busy life you may not feel like you have time for homework. Forcing yourself to make room to sit down somewhere quiet and do homework may give you some time to think. It will can give you a few hours away from the other stresses in your life.
This project is following the method of qualitative research and it would be based on 3 chapters.
