Academic Integrity- what you should or should not use for answers in discussions or constructed response questions
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 found 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.
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 resubmitted. Discussions can't be formally resubmitted. The teacher has to go into the grade book, find the discussion, read what you wrote, and manually add points.
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 the completion of the first try.
