Each question on the worksheet is worth 1 point (partial credit is possible). The worksheets are designed to help
you understand material and are aligned with the
Learning Outcomes to provide practice and feedback. The worksheets are downloadable from the Assignment tool within Sakai
as a Microsoft Word (or OpenOffice) and also as a pdf file. You can write on the worksheets and upload your answers or (similar to homework submissions)
take a digital picture of your handwritten assignment with a camera or smart phone. All worksheet answers
must be submitted within Sakai. Worksheets with answers only will be given a zero. You must show the work for credit. The due dates for the worksheets are one week before the due date for homework
assignments, so that you can get feedback on problems before submitting your homework and doing your quizzes.
DO NOT SUBMIT ASSIGNMENTS VIA EMAILS OR FAXES! I will not accept them!
Do not ask to submit late worksheets.
You will be required to participate in the discussion groups, i.e. Forums.
The forums are aligned with the
Learning Outcomes
to provide practice and feedback and assessment for outcomes 3 and 4.
