There are
10 online homework quizzes each worth 1% and count in total for 10% of your
final mark.
Do the Introduction first (but it is not worth any marks)
You can do each homework quiz as
many times as you like, only your BEST attempt is counted.
You can even keep practicing after getting full marks at no risk!
Each individual quiz has a 2 hour time limit, but after
practicing most students usually only need about 15 mins.
You may do the homework at whatever time and pace
suits you but all items must be
completed before the end of FRIDAY 10th November 2017 (StuVac).
Online homework is provided to
support your learning and give you the opportunity to practice the basic skills
introduced in this course.
The questions are
randomly generated and you can practice as often as you like and will get new
questions each time.
The Multiple Choice
questions for the in-class quizzes and in the final exam are VERY similar to
the online questions!

·
The GRADE button will
mark your quiz. It will warn you if you have left any questions blank and you
can either hit BACK( to do the remaining questions) or
GRADE again to force it to mark your quiz anyway.
·
After grading,
you can see your results and the correct answers by clicking on VIEW DETAILS or Gradebook
·
QUIT&SAVE will store your answers so far and allow you to come
back and continue the quiz later (but within 2 hours). After 2 hours you will
be forced to have the current quiz marked, but you start a fresh one if you
wish. You also need to press QUIT&SAVE after marking your quiz to return to
the class homepage. Don’t forget to press LOGOUT when you are finished.
·
The HELP button
will provide information about the system (it will not help you with maths)
·
The BACK and NEXT
buttons allow you to move back and forward one page at a time through the quiz
and do the questions in any order you like. There may be several questions on
each page or just one.
·
The QUESTION MENU
is a drop-down menu that allows you to jump directly to a particular page of
the quiz.
There are three different types of questions:
·
MULTIPLE CHOICE
(which is self explanatory)
·
NUMERICAL (where
you type in a number, might be a whole number, an exact fraction or decimal, if
using decimals try to be within 1% of correct answer)
·
FORMULA (you type
in a mathematical expression, you will get used to the format required if you
practice a lot)
Uppercase and lowercase letters mean
different things in both mathematics and most computer input.
Be careful and pay attention to upper- and lower- case when typing in your
answer.
The different types of brackets ()
[] {} can mean different things in both mathematics and most computer
input. Be careful and pay attention when typing in your answer.
