Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    What is the MOST efficient way to communicate with the professor of this course?

    • A.

      Campus telephone

    • B.

      MSU email

    • C.

      Ning message

    • D.

      Twitter

    • E.

      None of the Above

    Correct Answer
    B. MSU email
    Explanation
    On the first page of the course syllabus, you'll see my campus email listed as "the most efficient." This is particularly the case if the course Ning is down or undergoing maintenance. In the case of MSU email servers being down, the next best method of communicating is by sending a message through our course Ning. Note: You have InBox, Sent and Archived message folders within Ning that you can use to communicate with me and with your classmates. Save copies of all your communication. Learn to use the return receipt function of your MSU email, as I will not respond to emails that request "can you let me know if you received. . . ."

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    How does this 1 credit course module different from a 3 credit course?

    • A.

      1.0 weekly hours of work to complete instead of 3.0 weekly hours of work to complete

    • B.

      This 1.0 credit course is easier than most 3.0 credit courses

    • C.

      This 1.0 credit course is a companion course that supports other courses

    • D.

      Both A and C

    • E.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    D. Both A and C
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Both A and C. This one-credit module, if taught on campus, would require a total of 15 hours of in-class work and approximately 15 hours of work outside of class over the course of the entire semester, which equates to 1.0 weekly hours of work to complete. You should plan on spending the same amount of time towards completing this coursework online. Although there are fewer weekly hours of work, this course may be equal to or more difficult than some 3.0 credit courses, as hands-on uses of technology can be challenging for some students. This course is also a co-requisite to READ 411 and CURR 314 and thus the work you do should support and even overlap with the content you are producing in those courses. I will rely on you to make those connections, as I am not always in direct contact with the various instructors who teach those courses. If you aren't sure if something is relevant to all 3 courses, it's a great idea to start a discussion forum in one of your Groups.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    True or False: You cannot successfully pass this course within a CWID (Campus Wide Identification Number).

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    It's true. You already have a CWID assigned to you whether you realize it or not. You must KNOW your exact CWID in order to receive credit for some (not all) of the interactivities and quizzes. Sadly, students who have entered incorrect CWIDs in the past have not received credit for assignments.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    If you miss an assignment deadline (for whatever reason) what should you do?

    • A.

      Immediately e-mail the professor and apologize in an effort to make-up what you missed.

    • B.

      Submit the assignment anyway.

    • C.

      Cut your losses and do better on the next assignment.

    • D.

      Both A and B

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. Cut your losses and do better on the next assignment.
    Explanation
    C is the correct answer. The syllabus specifically states that all deadlines are firm and that there are no exceptions to this. Anticipate technological snafus and plan accordingly. The syllabus outlines all the technical requirements for participating in this online course, so pay close attention. You are therefore 100 percent responsible for access to the technology. If your home connection is down, go to campus or a local library. While I might be able to offer suggestions in dire circumstances, ultimately you are 100 percent responsible for completing the course requirements.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    True or False: Online participation counts for more than half of your final grade in this course.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    This is false. You'll see a breakdown in the course syllabus that outlines the following: Inter-activities (40 percent), Quizzes (40 percent) and Online Participation (20 percent).

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Online participation/discussion in this course consists of which of the following?

    • A.

      "My Page" Blogging

    • B.

      "Groups" Discussion Forum

    • C.

      Discussion Forms

    • D.

      All of the Above

    • E.

      None of the Above

    Correct Answer
    D. All of the Above
    Explanation
    D is the correct answer. The features of our Ning environment include your own personal blog, Groups forum, and Ning discussions. The small discussion groups are organized according to your subject area majors and require you to join. While I will be assigning specific discussion prompts, you are invited to also discuss other items relevant to the course, as needed.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What is the minimum number of "postings" you should have contributed overall by the end of the semester?

    • A.

      At least 10

    • B.

      At least 15

    • C.

      At least 20

    • D.

      At least 25

    • E.

      There is no minimum

    Correct Answer
    B. At least 15
    Explanation
    B is the correct answer. See page 4 of your course syllabus. By the end of the semester you should have a minimum of 15 postings (through various discussion venues). For example, a Groups discussion might involve multiple posts in one week or unit. Generally, you should plan for 1 online posting per week. Look for opportunities to contribute beyond the inter-activities (i.e., My Page blog, Groups forum or large group discussion)

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    You completed an online quiz and have reviewed your responses. What should you do before you hit the "submit" button in case of a technical error?

    • A.

      Take a screen shot (print screen) of your quiz.

    • B.

      If possible, email a copy of it to yourself.

    • C.

      Immediately email the professor to see if it was successfully submitted.

    • D.

      Say a prayer and hope for the best

    • E.

      Both A and B

    Correct Answer
    E. Both A and B
    Explanation
    E is the correct answer. Failure to save data or backup a file is not a valid excuse for missing an assignment. Always keep an extra date-stamped digital copy for your own records. Depending upon the assignment, it could be an email to yourself or taking a screen shot before you submit this quiz, for example. Note that once you take the screen shot, the creation date embedded within that file serves as your date stamp in case there is a discrepancy in the future. DO NOT EMAIL THE PROFESSOR to see if an assignment was successfully submitted. It's your responsibility to maintain backup data as evidence that you submitted an assignment. However, DO NOT SUBMIT BACKUP information unless requested to do so by the professor. You can correlate this information with what you eventually see reported in the Blackboard Gradebook. Of course it doesn't hurt to say a prayer and hope for the best, but that doesn't necessarily leverage your wisdom or increase your chances of successfully completing the course. See pages 4 and 5 of the course syllabus for more information.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Scenario: You just checked the Blackboard Gradebook and learned that your score for the most recent Quiz is extremely low. How should you proceed? (check ALL that apply)

    • A.

      Review the items that you missed to ensure there were no grading errors.

    • B.

      Immediately email the professor to ask, "How can I make up the points?"

    • C.

      Double check your work to make sure you met the deadline.

    • D.

      Check the accuracy of your CWID.

    • E.

      Admit that you didn't study or were in a hurry and accept the fact that you did poorly.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Review the items that you missed to ensure there were no grading errors.
    C. Double check your work to make sure you met the deadline.
    D. Check the accuracy of your CWID.
    E. Admit that you didn't study or were in a hurry and accept the fact that you did poorly.
    Explanation
    You should do all of these EXCEPT email the professor (B). There are no make-up assignments in this course, as all deadlines are final. It's essential that you keep up with your course work. If you think managing your own course work is difficult, just wait until you start teaching in a real classroom.
