OWL assignments come in three flavors:
(1) pre-topic reviews, (2)
quizzes, and (3) exam sets (note: exam sets are not meant to be a facsimile of
the exam but rather a group of practice questions). You will have four chances
to answer each OWL question.
Pre-topic reviews will close on the day and time of
the first class session of that topic, quizzes will close on or after the last
class session of that topic, and exam sets will close on the day and time of our
exams. Pre-topic reviews are worth 5 points each, quizzes are worth 10 points
each, and exam sets are worth 10 points each.
OWL due dates are final meaning, that no student
will be allowed to earn OWL points beyond the deadline.
The longer you wait to submit OWL responses, the
greater are the chances that you’ll be shut out.
To repeat, no extensions will be given for any OWL
assignment for any reason.
