2 slide 2: how to know when there’ll be a quiz CPN 101: Writing Studies II on Computer In addition to being announced on the main Web site for the course, the dates and times of our quizzes in WriteSpace will appear on the WriteSpace Calendar just like all other assignments. Normally, a quiz will be indicated in the entry for a day whose entry begins with a time indication of 30 minutes after an hour followed by “No class meeting; do the following:” as shown in the pop-up from rolling over the entry for the 8th in the following example:

3 slide 3: example of the full Calendar entry for a quiz CPN 101: Writing Studies II on Computer And as always you can double-click on the day in the Calendar and a page will open showing the full entry for that day:

4 slide 4: info. you’ll always see in the Calendar entry for a quiz: the starting time CPN 101: Writing Studies II on Computer Note that the full entry for a quiz will always tell you the following: the time the quiz will start, i.e., when it will become visible to you in WriteSpace and you’ll be able to start it

5 slide 5: info. you’ll always see in the Calendar entry for a quiz: the ending time CPN 101: Writing Studies II on Computer the time the quiz will end, which will indicate how long you’ll have to do the quiz after the starting time (and also the time after which you will NOT see the quiz in the Quizzes folder, i.e., you won’t be able to start the quiz at all)

6 slide 6: info. you’ll always see in the Calendar entry for a quiz: what the quiz is about CPN 101: Writing Studies II on Computer the name of the quiz, which will tell you which readings exactly the quiz will be on

7 slide 7: what to do when it’s time for a quiz CPN 101: Writing Studies II on Computer On the day of the quiz, at the exact start time for the quiz click on the Lessons tab in our WriteSpace Component and then click on the link for the Quizzes folder. You’ll then be taken to the Quizzes page where you’ll see a link for the quiz under the sample quiz on readings— DOES NOT COUNT link, which will always be present (as well as links for any quizzes that everybody in class has already taken):

8 slide 8: what to do if you don’t see the link for your quiz CPN 101: Writing Studies II on Computer If you DON’T see the link for the quiz you’re supposed to be taking at the time, it’s most likely because you’ve come to the Quizzes page before the actual starting time of the quiz (see slide 4 above). In this case, the simplest thing to do is click on the Lessons link in the “bread crumbs” along the top of the page: And then on the Lessons tab click the Quizzes folder again at EXACT time the quiz is supposed to start and look for the link to the quiz on the Quizzes page. I advocate doing it this way since even if you remain on Quizzes page after not seeing the quiz link it will NOT appear all by itself at the time the quiz is set to start.
