PARTIAL QUIZZES
There will be 20 questions on each Partial Quiz, and each question will be worth 5 points.
10 QUESTIONS WRITTEN BY YOUR TEACHER
10 of these questions will be written by Your Teacher, based on ANYTHING related to this class that happened during each partial: videos, texts, activities, lectures given by Your Teacher, presentations, projects, blogs, in-class conversations, etc, etc, etc.
10 QUESTIONS WRITTEN BY ALL OF YOU
The other 10 questions will be written by ALL OF YOU.
Your questions should always appear in this format:
PETER THEIS
L00794131
Question
Which word is an Adverb?
Choices
(a) Dead
(b) Milk
(c) Softly
(d) Banjo tune
Each of you (individually) will submit one question each for each partial.
( Note: This is a Did You Do It? Activity! )
Your question should have Four Potential Answers. Each wrong answer should sound/seem plausible, yet be clearly wrong if you know the information / subject being asked about. The ONE right answer should be obvious if you know the information / subject being asked about, yet also be similar enough to the other 3 answers so as not to be blatantly obvious.
Questions can and should be written about ONLY the following things: videos and readings Your Teacher told you to look at for that partial.
All of you, as an entire class, will have to organize yourselves carefully because what you need to do, each partial, is to collect one question from each of you, put all of these questions in ONE email, and email that to Your Teacher at least 3 class days before the day of each Partial Quiz:
Sello A
This ONE email should contain:
1. ONE QUESTION from EACH STUDENT; there MUST be one question from each student or the activity will be considered incomplete.
2. Each ONE QUESTION should be in EXACTLY the format described here.
3. The STUDENT'S NAME and MATRICULA should also be included with each question submitted.
Note: Since this is a "Did You Do It?" Activity, if the steps listed and described here are not followed exactly, the whole class will lose 5 points off their Partial Grade! So make sure you do it right!
DID YOU DO IT?
ACTIVITIES
Some activities (like your Partial Projects) Graded Activities and are directly part of your grade. Some activities are Just To Do It Activities -- they are not graded and you do not turn them into me, we just do them to do them. And some activities are "Did You Do It?" Activities, which means: if you do these activities by the time they are supposed to be done your grade will stay the same; if you don't do these activities by the time they are supposed to be done, you will lose 5 points off your Partial Grade for EACH one not completed. Some of these "Did You Do It?" Activities are done Individually, and some are done in Groups. Your Teacher will let you know in class, mostly at random, when an activity is a "Did You Do It?" Activity, or a Graded Activity, or Just To Do It Activity.
PARTIAL RESPONSES
Each Partial, at least 3 class periods before each Partial Quiz, you will send an email to Your Teacher, expressing some or all of the following themes:
(1)
How you feel about how the class for that partial (activities you liked, things you didn't like, things you would like more of or to have done differently, etc).
(2)
Your thoughts on how the class can be improved.
(3)
Any thoughts, feelings, reactions, questions, etc, about things we have discussed or done in or outside of class that partial.
Keep in mind that NO class is perfect, and that EVERY class is a process, something that is continuously changing. It is impossible to please everyone; but it's always good to get input so that new, fresh ideas are always being expressed, circulated, discussed, and incorporated. So the spirit of these responses is to be as helpful as possible in making the class as dynamic, fun, interesting, important, wonderful, etc, as it can be.
QUESTIONS + COMMENTS
Each Partial you will be assigned Readings, Links, and Videos to look at on class our blog and on the internet. Your Teacher will provide a list of these Readings, Links, and Videos for you to look at Each Partial.
Our class will be divided into 4 groups. These groups will be called upon to give QUESTIONS and COMMENTS each week, in class.
Groups 1 and 2
will present on the FIRST 1.5 HOUR CLASS of Each Week!
Groups 3 and 4

These QUESTIONS + COMMENTS sessions will occur (at random, when necessary) in the last 1/2 hour of class, during classes that are 1.5 hours in length.
