It also has ideas on how to do some stuff in Courseware. 

Make sure you submit documents that can be opened by a PC.  I cannot open .pages or .key files. They are Mac files.

How to set Google docs or slides so they can be shared with anyone with a link to the document 


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 send your revised discussion answers as a message to your teacher so she can regrade them. Course and Unit Activities show up each time they are resubmitted. Discussions can't be formally resubmitted. The teacher has to go into the gradebook, find the discussion, and manually add points. Courseware will not notify the teacher if anything is added to a discussion after it has been graded. 

Post-tests and the End of Semester test 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 be using for answers in discussions or constructed response questions

How you can use the research you did when using artificial intelligence software:  https://bit.ly/AIuseForClass. 

Make sure you show independent thought when you use information based on research you did using artificial intelligence software. 

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 am noticing the same mistakes coming through from wherever people are copying answers. I was nice until I realized the same wrong answers are showing up, so now I am putting out a global warning: if you turn in an assignment that looks closely like someone else’s because you copy and pasted from the same place, you risk being told to put it in your own words and not earn points until you redo the activity in your own words. If you include a citation telling where you are pulling information, I may give you some points if you find good information. Not all of the places where you are finding answers are answers that match our questions. Sure, it looks like they do online, but the experts you are using are not experts. They’re just very nice people who want to help students finish their homework. 


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.
