If you have Canvas or other technological problems, which of the following resources should you contact last?
UWT IT Help Desk – tachelp@uw.edu
Technical Problems Discussion Area
Correct!
Your instructor, Dr Jane Compson
Right! With the ‘Three Before Me’ method, you should try to solve your technical problems with three alternative avenues of support, and only then should you contact Dr Compson if you have not got any assistance after 24 hours. Dr Compson is not a technology specialist so the other avenues are more likely to provide good assistance!

Question 4
1 / 1 pts
After the first discussion assignment, the instructor will use random grading of weekly discussions, which means that:
She will just use any grading criteria she feels like.
I only have to do three discussion assignments, and she will grade them.
Correct!
I have to complete all the discussion assignments during the course. Of these, only three of the conventional discussion assignments will be graded.
Right. You are expected to complete all the discussion assignments in each module. Of these, three will be randomly selected for grading. You do not get to choose which ones will be graded. If you skip a week, you run the risk of getting a zero for that week – that will hurt your grade as it will count for a substantial chunk of your overall discussion score. This is not negotiable.

The instructor will be logging in for certain on Mondays and Thursdays, so I should not expect instant replies to my messages.: Right.

Question 10
1 / 1 pts
When I am replying to somebody else’s discussion posting, I can just say I agree or disagree with them, and that’ll be enough to get me full credit.
True
Correct!
False
Right. While it’s OK to say that you agree or disagree, to get full credit you need to actually respond to what that specific person has written, adding something new to the conversation. This is why it is important that you post your original response early enough in the week to let others respond to you.
