Each worksheet will have 10 questions each 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
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 two days before the due date for quizzes,
so that you can get feedback on problems before submitting your chapter quiz.
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
