Quiz Notes...See ASAP: Final Policy Change...

Good afternoon everyone! Thanks for the feedback from all & for the most part complying with the contract to get pre-discussion access.

Last week obviously messed us up due to the weather; and, last night was odd, in that we ran over slightly (even just covering Poe). I had intended to end by 5:30 and give everyone 30 mins (until 6) b/c staying over 15 mins would not have been long to dedicate extra, even with another class right after or familial/work obligations; however, then we ran over and everyone seemed to want to rush out. 

It seemed, other than the last two texts, that most had read the Poe information; plus, more are complying with my "contract," so it should work itself out. My goal was to give 30 mins, since you all have only had ~15 mins prior at the beginning of classes. That would give 15 mins extra & avoid people attempting to look up answers, even after class discussions. 

I only did it that way giving 24 hours + (over the weekend) to be fair, since many could not get to the library to copy book pages or use the internet (during the weather days/ campus closures). Some students can be so dishonest; however, we will have to stay in the lab in future to take quizzes; I will already be giving extra time; I just feel it is too chaotic opening it up THAT much to 24 hours, when you all already get pre-class discussions & extra time now to take them. The class is supposed to be 1.5 hours (to equate to a 3 hour credit); the school cuts it short 15 mins arbitrarily, so I will just take that back. Posting this to the blog as well, so everyone is completely aware. 

Ask questions IMMEDIATELY if you are unsure of the new quiz policy. We will have to stay on top of it for our time/ discussion (1 hour) to give you all the 30 mins to take quizzes in lab for the remainder of the semester. 

ALSO, I will be grading/ posting your quizzes this weekend; during the week since these are late classes, with tutoring, teaching, & lesson planning I do not have time & last week's was odd due to weather.
