obvious mistakes. the paper, the Rubric can help them get it right the first time and avoid common errors.

You went through a hard patch this semester. You missed a couple of quizzes and paper 2 entirely, and turned Paper 3 in late. After

that you got my act together and did OK for the rest of the semester, earning a total of 690 points. With the extra credit exam at the end

you finished the semester with 739 points. What is your final letter grade?

CCorrect!


It is the middle of the semester. How can you find out how you are doing in the class?

You can check your grades by clicking on the Grades link on the left of the home page in Canvas, and compare the

percentage to the Grading Scale in the Syllabus.

Knowing your percentage can help you figure out your current standing, but remember that HUM 2510 is a points-based course, not a

percentage-based one. Your final grade is based solely on the total number of points you earn.

Correct!




Which of the following is the correct format for sending an email or any written communication to a professor, in this or any course?

Dear Prof. [insert name], My name is Jane Student, I am in HUM 2510, CRN 81330. I have checked my grade but I

believe RR6 has not been posted yet. Since my friend has her grade already, can you check to see if my grade is there?

thank you, Jane.

Correct!


Your paper, worth 200 points, was due Friday at 3 pm. You turned it in at 4:55. What late penalty, if any, will that paper get?

10% of the original point value, so a penalty of 20 points.Correct!


When are most quizzes, exams and papers due?

3 pm on Friday of the week where the assignment or quiz is listed, unless otherwise specified in the Syllabus.Correct!


You and three of your friends collaborated on a paper. You went to an exhibition together, you selected a work of art to write about, and

you shared some ideas, observations, and the general paper structure, but you each wrote an individual paper. None of you copied

anything verbatim from each other, and none of you used anything from the Internet. Why is your instructor calling that plagiarism?

Because you did not each develop your own original ideas and observations. The intellectual content of your paper has to

be original too, not just the words of the paper.

Correct!




You decide that you want to try the quiz first and then look at the module. But the quiz won't open. What is the most likely reason?

The course has a built-in order. You must read the module lessons first before the quiz will open.Correct!


You experienced an injury playing sports. You didn't stop attending classes, but you didn't log in to the course for several weeks.

Towards the end of the semester, but before the drop/withdraw date, you notice you have an F in the class and are missing several

quizzes and two of the papers. You need to make a decision. At that point, what are your options?

You can withdraw from the course and take it again later.

If you wait too long to take action when something happens that causes you to fall behind, this will be your only option, assuming it is not

past the Withdraw date. If it IS past the Withdraw date, you should consult the Dean of Students or your Advisor to find out what you

should do. Because of the way grading is done in this course, it is impossible to make special arrangements to make up work late if we do

not receive timely notification.

Correct!

0.5 / 1 pts Question 23

What are good strategies for keeping a record proving that your paper file was completed and submitted on time, for protecting it from

being accidentally lost or damaged?

You can keep backups of your drafts on a USB jump drive as you go along.Correct Answer

You can email a copy of your paper file as an attachment to yourself before the due date.Correct Answer

You can take a screen shot of the message saying that your paper submitted successfully. Virtually NO students who do

this end up with papers that get lost.

Correct!

If you are worried that your paper did not submit properly, and it is BEFORE the deadline, you can notify the Course

Coordinator, your Instructor and your Preceptor (one email copied to all) and attach your paper to that email.

You will be asked to resubmit because only the student can submit to the dropbox, but the attachment proves that the paper was done by

the deadline and submission problems can be worked out afterwards.

Correct!




Under what circumstances will your Instructor "bump up" your points grade at the end of the semester if you are just short of what you

need for the next increment letter grade?

There is no situation where grades are "bumped up"

In smaller classes it is common to "bump up" points. In this class, because of the manual labor involved (1700+ students) and concerns

about consistency and fairness across multiple sections, we have made the decision not to bump up grades under any circumstances.

Correct!


Which of these are ARE acceptable behaviors in a live concert or exhibition? Select ALL that apply.

Taking notes discreetly and quietlyCorrect!

At a gallery talk or during an exhibition, asking the artist a few friendly and interested questions, without monopolizing

their attention

Artists and performers (if they are there talking to the public) are usually very happy to answer questions, especially if the people asking

are students who are genuinely interested in learning.

Correct!

Going to a public opening or reception, even though you have not received a personal invitationCorrect Answer


You started the course last year and withdrew after you had submitted Paper 1. Since you didn't complete the course, can you submit

those same papers again?

No, you cannot resubmit the same paper.

Correct - even if you did not complete the class the first time you took it, if you turned in a paper once, you must do an entirely new paper

for that assignment.

Correct!




What are good ways to get help understanding how to do a paper?

Read the instructions carefully with a highlighter

Excellent strategy. Before you ask any questions of anyone, do this step carefully. Most questions are answered in the Instructions and if

you just follow the steps, they will lead you through the process.

Correct!

Take the instructions to the Writing Center or the Center for Academic Achievement

Both of these campus offices are set up for helping students with this kind of task. The best way to use them is to start early enough on

the paper, do a draft, make your list of questions and problems and then go for help. If you wait until the last three days, you will not get

nearly the quality of attention because there will be a lot of other students wanting help at the same time.

Correct!

Ask your Instructor for help

Instructors are paid to help students, so you should not feel shy about asking. Your Instructor will either help you, or direct you to the best

place to get answers for your particular question. To make the best use of an Instructor, start by reading over the Instructions carefully,

and try to identify exactly what it is you don't understand. The Instructions are given in a detailed step-by-step format so you should start

doing the steps and when you get stuck, ask for assistance.

Correct!


Papers submitted to dropboxes MUST be submitted in the following file format:

Microsoft WordCorrect!


Several of the papers for this class require you to attend live cultural events. Which of the following statements about concert and

exhibition attendance policies are TRUE? Select ALL that apply.

If you are unable to attend a concert or exhibition because of your work schedule you will not get an extension on the

paper.

True. No extensions on papers will be granted except for major medical and family emergencies as defined in the Course Policies. If your

schedule makes it impossible for you to attend a concert or an exhibition in person, you should withdraw and take the course another

time, because live attendance is an essential course requirement.

Correct!



Students who are Distance Learners must also attend approved live arts events for papers.

True. Certified Distance Learners are also required to attend cultural events live and in-person for this class. See the Distance Learning

instructions on the course Home Page for the specific responsibilities of distance learners.

Correct!

A concert paper that is not based on live, in-person concert attendance will lose 50% of the points.

False. A concert paper or art analysis paper that is not based on live attendance at an Approved Concert or Exhibition will get a 0.

You Answered

A concert or exhibition that you attended during the break right before the semester started CANNOT be used to write a

paper for this class.

True. Your concert and exhibition visits must occur during the semester, while you are enrolled in the course, because you need to have

read the paper assignments in advance and gathered the specific kinds of notes and information they require while you are there.

Correct!


What should you do if you have concerns about your academic progress or encounter a personal problem that could affect your work?

Email your Instructor

When you email your Instructor about a problem, it is a good idea to copy the Course Coordinator as well, since the Course Coordinator

makes sure that no student falls between the cracks.

Correct!


Which of the following types of assignments MAY be submitted late up to a certain point, with a penalty?

Papers

Papers may be turned in late up to a point; see Course Policies for details and penalties.

Correct!




What does the little bomb symbol mean in the course documents?

It warns you about a policy or an instruction that, if ignored, could cause a serious problem with grades or with your ability

to be successful in the course.

Correct!


You are really, really upset about a grade or about a course policy. What is the best way to get satisfaction? (Select the BEST approach)

Read all applicable course policies and instructions, to be sure that you have not misunderstood or forgotten some policy.

Write a calm and respectful letter to the instructor, stating the case. You can ask for a meeting, if the instructor has an

office on campus. Assume the instructor desires to be fair. Understand that the instructor is obligated to apply policies

equally to all students in the same way.

Correct!


You started your quiz at 2:55 but it froze up and you couldn't complete it by the 3 pm deadline. Will the Instructor reopen it for you, since it

was a technical problem?

No, because your technical problem happened too close to the deadline. It is the student's responsibility to start early

enough so that any technical problems that may occur can be resolved before the deadline.

Correct!


This is your Course Contract. It is your agreement with the Instructor. Please confirm by checking the box that you have read, understood

and agreed to each of the following statements. Then SUBMIT to record your contract and proceed to the rest of the course.

Correct!

Quiz Score: 33.83 out of 35

I understand that I am not expected to know anything at all to start with, and that no questions are stupid if asked out of a

genuine desire to learn. I understand that the professor welcomes questions, and is going to do everything possible to

help me succeed, consistent with course policies.

I am aware that HUM 2510 is a complicated course that exists in a constantly changing technological and academic

environment. I am aware that there may be some glitches in the smooth running of the class, and that there may be

accidental errors that have crept into it due to the fact that it is being constantly improved and updated. I will inform the

Instructor and Course Coordinator promptly if I discover any errors, confusions or malfunctions in the course.

Correct!

I understand that I will need to be self-starting and proactive about mastering material and completing assignments in this

class. I accept responsibility for my own learning. I will log on to the course website at least twice a week to check for

announcements and to complete assignments. I will keep track of my grades, as well as assignments and due dates. I

will also check my campus email regularly, at least a couple of times a week. I will read all course email that I receive,

even long emails, recognizing that in a virtual course this is the only way Instructors have of communicating with

students.

Correct!

I will ask for help if I need help. I understand that professors are paid to help students and that it is no imposition to email

or come to office hours, for any reason. If I start to experience academic problems such as falling behind with work I will

notify the Instructor promptly.

Correct!

At all concerts and art exhibitions I will conduct myself like a responsible adult. I understand that attendance at arts

events is a privilege, not a right, and that I am representing FGCU to the world when I am in public. I will be respectful

towards the place, the occasion, the artists exhibiting or performing, and other audience members. I will observe all the

policies regarding appropriate behavior at such events, recognizing that different occasions require different standards.

Correct!

I understand that the Instructor welcomes constructive comments and suggestions about the course. If I have concerns

about the course, I will tell the Instructor what those concerns are.

Correct!

I have read and understood the campus policy and the course policy concerning plagiarism and academic dishonesty. I

certify that all the work I do for this class, including all written work, exams, journal entries, and module activities, will be

my own, original, independent work. I will not cheat myself, and I will not help or allow anyone else to cheat. In the case

of papers, "work" includes all the ideas and information in the paper as well as the actual writtten words. If I use any

source of information other than my own work, I will cite that source. I understand that if I am convicted of academic

dishonesty in this class the penalty may include failing the course even if I have otherwise accumulated enough points to

pass.

Correct!

I understand that if I should need special consideration for a serious health or personal issue, it is my responsibilty to

notify the Instructor promptly. If any special arrangement is made with me, I must keep the Instructor informed and

complete any work within the agreed-upon time frame, or notify the Instructor promptly if for some valid reason I am

unable to keep to the agreement. I understand that the course will not be obliged to make special arrangements if the

Instructor has not been notified promptly when an illness or emergency threatens to affect school performance.

Correct!

I am aware that personal attendance at live art exhibitions and music concerts are required activities for this class. I

understand that I am responsible for obtaining tickets in advance and for making sure that I will be able to complete the

live experiences in plenty of time to do the papers. I understand that no extensions or other accommodations will be

offered if I have not arranged something workable in time, or if my plans fall through and I have no backup plan. I also

understand that any costs associated with concert attendance are my responsibility. Since there is no textbook for this

class, these costs are not onerous.

Correct!

I understand that the final grade I get will be the grade I earn. There are no opportunities to "bump up" grades in this

class after the fact; students who want to be sure they end up with the grade they want should take every opportunity to

earn credit, for example by taking practice quizzes multiple times until maximum points are achieved.

Correct!

In all my interactions with the course, I will treat the Instructor, the Course Coordinator and my Preceptor with the same

respect with which I would like them to treat me.

Correct!
