HIST 1302, 11008 and 11009

Your online sections are now active. I'm setting the quiz dates now. Remember, you get two chances at each quiz, and the average will be recorded. You can, of course, just take the quiz once if you prefer.

2 attempts for online quizzes

Hey everyone, I just realized that I didn't mention the fact that you get two attempts at the online quizzes. I will average the two scores, and that will be recorded as your grade for that quiz. This is for all sections, online and face-to-face. dld

Oops! I meant MyRecords.

Great job, everyone--have a good summer!

Kasson discussion--online course

They're all graded and commented on. Almost everyone is writing at a pretty strong college level. Therefore, my comments are mainly just that: part of the discussion. Good job discussing each others' work.

Final exam for online course

I'm getting a lot of email from students who are trying to get out of town and want to take the final early. I opened the final exam and sent the requests to the testing centers. You should be able to take it any time from now through July 7. Good luck.

PS: I'm still evaluating discussion paragraphs.
