We will not be meeting together for lecture
Wednesday, August 30. Here's the plan...
Please review the ppt (and maybe listen
to the audio files) so that you have some
familiarity with the material.
Then, on Friday, we'll spend our time together looking carefully at the "most important stuff".
I suggest putting off the Pink Things until after Friday's lecture.

Quiz #1 will be available in DLC Testing Center.

You must take both sections of Quiz 1a during one visit to the Testing Center,
within these dates.
You can not take different sections of the Exam during different "visits" or "sittings."

After the DLC closes each evening I'll grade the Quizzess taken that day
and post the updated
Online Gradebook. After it is graded you can review the
quuiz by following this
Mobius handout!

Please don't use the Canvas "Grades" to look at your Quiz grades!! It doesn't score
things properly, it won't let you see your answers and the feedback, etc. Please use the

Online Gradebook to see scores for each Quiz section and your overall Quiz grade and use
the
Mobius handout to go into Mobius and see all parts of your quiz, answers, feedback, etc.

If you want to improve your Quiz 1 score -- you can Quiz 1b!!
You should NOT take Quiz 1b until Quiz 1a is graded and you have had an opporunity
to review it, ask questions if you like, etc. So, I recommend you don't put off taking
Quiz 1a until the end of the testing period!

If you decide to take Quiz 1b, you can choose to retake just the
essay section, just the story probem section, or take
both sections. If you retake a section of the Quiz you must retake the entire
section (i.e., answer all 4 essays questions, or answer
all the questions in the story problems)..

Your grade for the Quiz will be based on your best score on each section of the Quiz. If you
take a section of Quiz 1b and do more poorly than you did on that section of Quiz 1a, your score on that section of the quiz will be taken from Quiz1a.

Sep 19 will be the last day to complete Unit 1 Pink Things for points

Testing Center Webpage

You must have your UNL ID with you to enter the DLC Testing Center !!!!!

* Pink Things give you practice with key elements of the content and processes we are studying. You
are expected to complete these exercises after the material related to each has been
presented (ideally before the next lecture), so you have learned the informaton and can build on it!).

** Orange Things are taken from multiple Pink Things and give you an
oportunity to "notice how things go together" and to give you bit more practice with key
elements! You are expected to complete these before trying the Quiz #1 Story Problem
