Week 4

Notice:

An unfortunate medical condition has surfaced and requires me seeking medical attention. As a result I will not be able to make it to class. However please note that you are to continue with chapter three and I will update the blog post requirements by tomorrow morning. 

Chapter 1-5 can be found in pbworks. 6-10 will be uploaded on Saturday.

For this week we will have the following:
1. Our blog discussion comment and respond in PBworks.

As a classroom teacher what sort of things should you assess?
Having decided on what you will  assess in your classroom how do you go about assessing it?

2. Quiz on chapter 2 and 3 on Thursday - Chapter one was a warm up to the process and may be dropped depending on future number of quizzes completed. Don't count on it so stay focused. 

3. Update/upload all missing assignments as blog 3 will be closed on Sunday. (This will allow my late students a chance to catch up)

Please inform your study buddy about this announcement in order to avoid any unnecessary trips to UB.

Be sure to check the blog update tomorrow.

Week 3

I have a gift for you! 
Quiz 1 is only 10 questions and the content covers only chapter 1! 

It is now open and will remain open until midnight tonight.  Note that it is a timed quiz. You have 20 min and it must be taken through your engrade.com account. 

You have sufficient time to get it done, including engrade.com login. At midnight the QUIZ will be closed and we have no re-sits for this quiz. Good Luck! Have a great day!


Update:
I am aware that there is as meeting in Belmopan and that all faculty and staff are required to attend. This means that some classes for earlier today have been cancelled. For this reason some students may believe that our classes for today has been cancelled as well. This is not so!
 We are having classes today and it begins at 5:00 pm. Remember that it is a three credit class which means that it runs to 8:00 pm.
