Which of the following statements about the quizzes that are administered on Aplia is correct? -
ANS A. There is no time limit for taking a quiz.
Your Answer B. Once started, you have 30 minutes to complete a quiz. The 30-minute clock
(time limit) runs consecutively from the time the quiz is started such that the ending time for a
quiz that is started at 3 p.m. is 3:30 p.m., even if you log off Aplia during this time period.
C. Once started, you have 30 minutes to complete a quiz. The 30-minute clock (time limit) runs
only while you a logged on to Aplia, which means that the clock stops when you log off Aplia. As
a result, you could possibly take a quiz over multiple days as long as the sum of the time you
are logged on to Aplia does not exceed 30 minutes.
D. After starting a quiz, answers can be changed at any time and as many times as you want
so long as the due date (deadline) for taking the quiz has not passed.
E. The questions given on the quizzes are quite similar to those that will be contained on the
exams.
Which of the following statements about the course is correct? - ANS A. After the course
has been completed and your final grade for the course has been computed at the end of the
, semester, you will be given an opportunity to improve a marginal grade, such as a D+, by
completing a "special" term project.
Your Answer B. Students do not need a hard (paper) copy of the textbook to complete all of the
requirements for this course
C. The score earned on the final exam will be counted only if it is higher than one of the scores
earned on the first three non-cumulative exams (i.e., Exam 1, Exam 2, or Exam 3).
D. Everyone who misses an exam will have the opportunity to take a make-up exam that
includes only the material covered on the exam that was missed. For example, if Exam 1 is
missed, each student who missed that exam will be able take a make-up exam that covers
Chapters 1-4, regardless of the reason he or she missed the exam.
The score earned on the final exam counts regardless of whether it is higher than any of the
scores earned on the first three exams. The minimum the score on the final exam counts is 16
percent of the overall course grade. If the score on the final exam is higher than any of the
scores on the first three exams, then it will effectively count 39 percent of the overall grade; that
is, the score on the final exam will count 16 percent plus the 23 percent for the exam score that
it replaces.
Following are the scores that a student earned for the three non-cumulative exams, the
comprehensive final exam,
and the assignments/quizzes:
Exam 1 ................................ 75
Exam 2 ................................ 75
Exam 3 ................................ 74
Final exam .......................... 73
Assignment grade ............... 12
Incorrect Answer 5.1. What is the course average for this student? - ANS A. 74.7
B. 61.6
Your Answer C. 61.8
D. 74.3
Correct Answer E. 65.0
Course average = 0.23(75) + 0.23(75) + 0.23 (74) + 0.16(73) + 0.15(12) = 65.0
Because it is lower than each of the scores on the first three exams, the final exam score does
not substitute for any of the first three exam scores.

comprehensive final exam,
