iclicker: Marking scheme Your iclicker answers will count for 4% of your final grade. Each class, if you answer 75% of the questions, you get 1 mark to indicate you are present. In addition, for every question you attempt, you get 1 mark. 1 further mark is awarded for every correct answer.
iclicker: Marking scheme Most lectures will have two or more questions. Scores may be renormalized to give all lectures the same weight, and the best 30 lectures will be used. Therefore, the score in UM Learn gradebook should be considered approximate, and waivers for missed lectures will not be granted.
Who will win the Banjo Bowl? (a) Bombers by a touchdown (b) Bombers by a field goal (c) Riders by a touchdown (d) Riders, but with Bombers in spitting distance (e) The banjo what?
Homework Read course notes and textbook. Lecture notes will be posted on-line before they are used, without clicker questions, and updated later with clicker questions. Wiley Plus on-line problems will be assigned regularly. These are graded! A problem from the text may be assigned at the end of some lectures. These will be solved in the following lecture. They are not for credit.
WileyPlus Registration instructions: Go to www.wileyplus.com/class/661150, also linked from the course web site, to log in or create an account. See Juliette Mammei if you have problems.
