Instructor Support: BYU Independent Study! Quiz - Quiz


Below is a trivia quiz on BYU Independent Study on instructor support. Unlike a classroom setting where you can raise your hands and ask any question you have to the lecture, in the online courses offered by BYU, you can reach your instructor through different means. Do you know how to reach the instructor? Take the quiz and see if this is so.

    Correct Answer
    A. Two weeks from the day the lesson is submitted into our office
    Explanation
    Instructors are given two weeks to grade the exam from the time of submission; it is in their contracts that they have this time, so any student requests for quicker grading are just that: requests.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Remember that some courses do not offer retakes. In these cases, we absolutely cannot offer a retake without instructor approval.

    Having an Independent Study employee send an IPF is basically the same as email, except it skips a step (our email team would just send an IPF to the instructor with the emailed question).

      Use the ones that were given to them with their course.

      Use their own, homemade coversheet.

    • D.

      Call and have us send them one (via the "reprint" button next to the corresponding lesson in Admin Gradebook)

    Correct Answer(s)

    Explanation
    The important part isn’t the blueness of the paper. We just need some way of knowing who the student is and what they are turning in. Any piece of paper with a course access code, name, course/instructor name, and lesson number is fine.
