Be sure to read through ALL of the information below. Failure to read through the information provided could negatively affect student performance and grades. Emails with questions that were explicitly addressed in this post will be responded to with "Please refer to the Weekly Announcement." If you have ANY questions not addressed in the Weekly Announcement you may email me directly at [email protected].
DISTRICT END-OF-COURSE EXAM REVIEW: The District End-of-Course (DEOC) Review assignments will cover most of the Anatomy and Physiology curriculum. Late penalties already apply to any DEOC Review not submitted. These reviews will close Wednesday, May 4, 2022 (A-Day) at 12:30 PM. Once you have started your DEOC the Reviews will no longer be accepted. The intention of the DEOC Reviews are to prepare students for the District End-of-Course Exam that counts toward 20% of a student’s overall grade for the year, the equivalent of an entire quarter's grade.
DISTRICT END-OF-COURSE EXAM: The District End-of-Course Exam (DEOC) has already begun for B-Day classes and is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, May 4, 2022 for A-Day classes. It is important that students attend class until they have completed the DEOC. The DEOC accounts for 20% of a student's overall grade for the course (equal to an entire quarter grade). Failure to take the DEOC may result in no credit being provide for the course (even if you had A's for Quarters 1-4). You have been well prepared for the DEOC. Finish strong! You are almost there!
KAHOOT! DEOC REVIEW: I have provided Kahoot! DEOC Reviews for all 15 modules. These are available for any student who has not already sat for the DEOC to complete. Recovery points may be applied if you miss less than 5 of the 52 questions (greater than 90%). You may take any module as many times as you would like. Email me at [email protected] if the maximum plays has been attempted and I will provide another link.
4TH QUARTER GRADES: It is important that students complete their assessments by their designated closing dates during the 4th Quarter. These closing dates follow the routines established during the first three quarters, have been announced since the start of the 2nd Semester in January of 2022, and provided sufficient time to students that have not been excessively truant. The difference between "due dates" and "closing dates" has been explained excessively since the start of school in August, repeated each quarter, and repeated each module. Once a student has sat for the District End-of-Course Exam their 4th Quarter grade will be finalized.
ABSENCE/QUARANTINE: If you are absent from class or quarantined due to COVID-19 and told to work from home, you need to check the Weekly Announcement for what work will be covered in class each day. The notes will be posted in Teams under the Files tab. The assignments will appear in the Assignments section on Teams. You have access to a digital text book (Open Stax) via the link provided, on the class website (IsonBiology.com), on the course syllabus (located in the Class Material folder in the Files tab). There are also tutorials available on the class website.
HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR PARENTS (AND STUDENTS): Earlier this year I posted the following article, Helpful Information for Parents, help keep parents informed of what the course is about. The article is also helpful for students, especially with the number recently added to the course. If you are a new student to the course please take the time to read the article. This will help you catch up with insights that other students have already been given or figured out over the first semester.
