OWL Introductions 1, 2, and 3 are due Friday of
Week 1. Please register your OWL and complete these assignments—5
points will be scored for mastering these three sections (a green
check mark appears in the Assignment column when you master a
section). About 101 OWL question sections are assigned--this number
includes the three introduction assignments. These sets range from
one to several questions. These are in the form of tutorials,
simulations, and homework questions. A green check mark appears in
the Assignment column when you master a section. You may repeat
these indefinitely to earn credit if you did not master initially. A
student will earn 45 course points for mastering between 80 and the
about 101 question sections--this number includes the three
introduction assignments.. A student will earn 25 points for
mastering between 70 and 79 question sections--this number includes
the three introduction assignments.. A student will earn 5 points
for mastering between 1 and 69 question sections--this number
includes the three introduction assignments..
