Introduction to
Marine Biology
If you need a guide sheet but it has not been created yet, please tell Ms. Getz as soon as you can.
Here are some Guide Sheets:
Unit 1 Oceanic Features and Processes
The Space Jumble is for fun; it does not earn points toward your course grade.
Unit 2: Life in the Oceans
The Para Jumble is for fun; it does not earn points toward your course grade.
Unit 3: Marine Ecosystems
The Thwack-A-Mole is for fun; it does not earn points toward your course grade.
Unit 4: Interactions in the Marine Environment
The Space Jumble is for fun; it does not earn points toward your course grade.

Students unlock Mastery Tests by redoing the tutorial that goes with it.
Discussions can be redone by adding more to your response. You have to message your teacher so she can regrade it. Course and Unit Activities show up each time they are submitted. Discussions can't be formally resubmitted. The teacher has to go into the gradebook, find the discussion, read what you wrote, and manually add points.
The Midterm and the End of Semester tests can be taken twice and require the teacher to reset them. The reset has to be 24 hours after completion of the first try.
Academic Integrity- what you should or should not use for answers in discussions or constructed response questions
Students will only earn full credit for assignments if Ms. Getz can tell that independent thought was used. If you trick her into giving you full credit, "yay" for you. It would be best if you still learned how to think for yourself.
I recommend you write your answers outside of Courseware (like in Word or Google docs) and copy and paste your answers into Courseware. Courseware is still closing without warning for some people. If you prefer to make the images or to write your answers in a document and then upload it, you may. If you are linking to a document you save in Courseware, there is a chance I cannot see it. If you are saving the document on your school’s server, I can’t access it. There may be a way to access it, but I don’t know how.
Microsoft’s browser, Edge, does not copy the URL when you try to copy it. It will give you the page name instead of the URL. When you paste this into courseware, the URL gets lost. If you can use Chrome or Firefox to grab the URL, please do.
