101 Quiz Policies Quizzes will be given during the first 10-12 minutes of each recitation according to the schedule. If our recitations were being held in-person, here is how the Quizzes would be delivered: The quiz paper would be face down on your desk when you arrive. At the appointed time for the recitation to begin, your TA would say "You may begin;" then, after about eight minutes (if it were a 10-minute quiz), or 10 minutes (if it were a 12-minute quiz), your TA would say, "You have two minutes remaining." Finally, about two minutes later, your TA would say, "Please stop working and pass your papers to the front." Since our recitation meetings will all be remote, our Quizzes will be given at WebAssign, and will require a pdf submission. During the week before the first quiz, there will be a Practice Quiz Upload Assignment available for you at WebAssign, which you can use to practice making a pdf upload that is appropriate for WebAssign. NOTE: Names of pdf submissions at WebAssign may not contain spaces, commas, etc. Always make a simple filename for your WebAssign pdf submission (such as "quiz1", or "quiz2", for example, for the letters preceding the ".pdf" file suffix). Five minutes is deemed to be sufficient time to photograph, convert, and submit your work; therefore, the time limit for our remote, synchronous quizzes will be 15-17 minutes. If you were taking the quiz in an in-person class, you would be required to stop working after 10-12 minutes and turn in your quiz paper, whether complete or incomplete. You should do the same in a remote class. When your TA says (via Zoom), "You should stop working now and submit your pdf file", be sure to stop working, whether your work is complete or incomplete, and prepare your pdf submission. After submitting, always double-check that you have submitted a readable pdf file. Please don't risk getting a zero by trying to make your pdf submission in the final minute of the 15-to-17-minute quiz period. It is your responsibility to submit a pdf file that is readable at WebAssign. If the file that you have submitted is NOT readable at WebAssign, then you will receive a ZERO for that quiz; there is no relief provided. Be sure to use the Practice Quiz Upload assignment available at WebAssign during the week before Quiz 1 to practice submitting a readable pdf file. Thanks, GBA. You should NEVER use the "save work" feature of WebAssign for submitting pdf answers; as long as time has not expired you may always re-submit your pdf file. Only the last pdf submission will be seen by the grader. If you SAVE your pdf submission at WebAssign, but do not successfully submit it, then you will receive a zero for that quiz; therefore, NEVER use the "save work" feature for a pdf-submission question at WebAssign. There are a total of 7 quizzes during the semester. Quiz topics are given in the schedule. You will need a small hand calculator for the quizzes. What can you do if you must miss a recitation in which a quiz is given? Read the paragraph below. THERE ARE NO MAKE-UP QUIZZES FOR ANY REASON. Exception: ONCE (and only once) during the semester, you may arrange with your TA to attend your TA's recitation at a different time during the week. To see what recitation times your TA is teaching, look at the list of 101 recitations. The highest 6 quiz scores will be counted. If you take all seven quizzes, your lowest quiz score will automatically be dropped at the end of the semester. If you miss a quiz, FOR ANY REASON, that quiz will be your drop. Your quiz average will account for 10% of your final grade. AMENDMENT FOR SPRING 2021 IN SPRING 2021, two recitation quizzes will be dropped instead of one. If you miss a quiz, FOR ANY REASON, that quiz will be one of your two drops. QUIZ GRADING APPEALS Quizzes will be graded by a grader. Your graded quizzes will appear at WebAssign approximately 1-2 weeks after you have made your pdf submission for that quiz. If you wish to appeal the grading of one of your quizzes, you must follow these procedures: (1) Please DO NOT try to discuss the grading of the quiz with your TA immediately after recitation. Your quiz was not graded by your TA. (2) If you think you deserve more points on a graded quiz, submit an appeal IN WRITING, following the instructions in Section (3) below. Explain carefully exactly why you deserve more points, and ask for as many points as you think your answer deserves. (3) Send your written appeal, in PDF form, to Dr. Adams by email within two school days of receiving your graded quiz at WebAssign. (4) I will pass your appeal to the grader, who must give you a written reply, which will be emailed to you either through Dr. Adams or through your recitation TA. If you are not satisfied with the grader's response to your appeal, then you may ask Dr. Adams to consider your appeal; in such cases I reserve the right to regrade your entire quiz.
