SOME GENERAL RULES FOR TESTS AND QUIZZESNO CALCULATORS ALLOWED FOR EXAMS AND ALL THE PROCTORED QUIZZES!!The reason for this is that we have found that the use of such devices tends to exacerbate studentweaknesses, particularly regarding basic skills. For that reason, you might consider not using one onyour homework unless it‟s an absolute must. You may use a calculator for take-home quizzes.However, we encourage you not to do so, as these quiz problems may also appear on exams. Sincecalculators cannot be used on exams you will need to be able to complete all quiz problems withouta calculator.YOU HAVE TO SHOW YOUR WORK FOR THE EXAMS AND ALL THE QUIZZES!!Paper will be provided prior to taking the quizzes and tests and should be turned in when you aredone.You have to show your work in a readable and logical manner. Points will be taken away forproblems with correct answers but no supportive work. This rule also applies to the three quizzesthat are not proctored.Do not hit the backspace button during online QUIZZES or EXAMS!!Hitting the backspace button during the online tests and quizzes will end your work without savinganything. We have to rely on your written work for a grade.FEEDBACK FROM THE QUIZZES AND EXAMS!!The best feedback is going over the problems that you have done incorrectly. Please collect thefollowing items for each quiz/test:1. Pick up your paper for the quiz/test during the following Tuesday lecture.2. From your COURSECOMPASSGRADEBOOK review and print your quiz/test. Mark theproblems that you did incorrectly.3. Print the solutions for the quiz/test. The solutions are “generic” so they are they sameproblems with different numbers.4. Attempt the problems that you have done incorrectly and ask questions in the lab if youcan‟t figure it out. You are expected to print the quiz/test solutions and print the onlinequizzes, and add your work from the quizzes and use it to study for the exams.5. Reviewing the quizzes prior to the tests is a great way to improve your test grade.
