ASSESSMENT TASKS AND GRADING Student Evaluation (Also refer to the Grading Flowchart below): 1. You must complete the Pre Survey during the first two weeks of the semester (extra points, and mandatory). Go to a Testing Center and open the Tasks, Tests and Surveys page from Laulima. Open 101-Pre-Survey (30 questions) and answer the questions (The Proctor at the Testing Center will put in the Password for you). Requirement 1: You must complete (1) Pre-survey. If you do not complete this initial task, you will not be allowed to participate in this class thereafter. 2. There will be three Exams (40 points each),12 Weekly Quizzes (5 points each, 60 points) and Participation (30 points) for the evaluation (Total 210 points). Reviews for Exams are available as Reviews for Multiple Choice Exams in the Resources on Laulima (Printable version in 02-Reviews holder). This requirement is used to determine your final letter grade, if you meet all requirements. Requirement 2: You must achieve 60% or better of the total of exams and attendance/participation to pass the course. 3. There will be a mandatory Capstone Quiz near the end of the semester (extra points according to your achievement). It covers everything covered in the class. Review for the Capstone Quiz is available in the Resources page on Laulima (GEOG 101 Key Concepts and Terms in 01-Key Concepts holder). Understand (not just memorize their definitions) the concepts and terms listed. Take this requirement seriously. Requirement 3: You must achieve 70% or better for the quiz to pass the course. 4. If you fail to meet one or both of the above two requirements (only if the results of the Capstone Quiz is 50.0-69.9%), there will be a Makeup Exam (makeup for the entire course, NOT for a missed exam). Makeup Exam covers materials for the three previous exams (This is NOT a mere makeup for the Capstone quiz). Requirement 4: To pass the course, you must achieve 80% or better. 5. Participation (via Discussion) will be used to evaluate each student’s achievement of course objectives listed above. Students missing discussion regularly (i.e. more than 10% of possible number of entries), cannot be assessed for these objectives and therefore will not be able to pass the course. Normally 60 entries required. Requirement 5: No more than 10% missing discussion entries NOTE: Requirement 5 is eased for the Summer Class. But please participate in the online discussion as much as possible. Your participation will be considered as extra credit points. Please mark your calendar now. Tasks Material Covered Date
