=== '''Course Design / Grading''' === All courses have chapter content to read with a lot of infographics, videos, and more throughout. From that point on, a course may include: * Assessment quizzes that skip your knowledgeable areas. * Milestone discussions where you need to respond to a writing prompt from your professor. <u>Quiz Tips</u> If your final is a multiple-choice exam, spend more time on the quizzes. Purposely get questions wrong. This will cycle through the entire test bank where you can read the explanations in an "explain like I'm five mode" and it will condense your study material/reviews, allowing you to focus on the explanations for studying. Almost every question (at least 90%) will be a rephrased question from a quiz. The quiz will start repeating questions, and at that point, get the ones that repeated right, and then get the next set wrong, etc. There are usually 2 to 3 quiz banks in each quiz, each with around 6-10 questions, for a total of around 20-30 questions in each quiz. <u>Essay Final Tips</u> Outside of English, UMPI professors do not really care about proper essay structure, as long as your introduction and conclusion are strong. The instructions are incredibly detailed. But, be sure to check the rubric and ensure that all the rubric requirements in section 4 (exemplary) are met. By meeting all of the highest-grade possible rubric sections, you are guaranteed an A. ''Utilize the DRAFT feature and get feedback from your professor.'' <u>Discussion Boards & Learning Journals</u> Discussion boards and learning journals are not required, and if you don't want to do them, don't. But, if you don't understand the topic well, I recommend you do them to gain more practice. <u>To estimate your grade, add your rubric scores up:</u> * 3 out of 4 * 3 out of 4 * 4 out of 4 * 4 out of 4 * 4 out of 4 18 out of 20 18/20 = 90% <u>Percentage / GPA Tracker:</u> * A+: 97-100% - 4.0 * A: 93-96% - 4.0 * A-: 90-92% - 3.7 * B+: 87-89% - 3.3 * B: 83-86% - 3.0 * B-: 80-82% - 2.7
