How do students create accounts? • They click the NetID login button and it automatically creates an account for them. • They enroll in the course with an “enrollment key” (i.e., password) that is provided in each section syllabus. (This is a one time process.) • Each class section may be given a unique enrollment key that enrolls them into the correct group into the course. • Afterwards, they only need to click the NetID login and select the course.

  11. Questions with multiple answers and distracters. • For questions with multiple answers there is a grade percentage box at the bottom. • However many answers you want to be correct, they have to TOTAL 100%. • For example, two questions are worth 50% each. • Distracter answers need to have a negative percentage and must equal -100%. • These percentage scales go from -100% to none to +100%.

  12. Cheating Prevention • Monitoring student progress and activity

  13. Grading • Nearly all Quizzes and Homework for linguistics are autograded. • To be taken care of when you create the quiz and questions. This is why we use Multiple choice, true/false, etc. • Manually check the gradebook to make sure that everyone has completed and submitted their homework. • At the end of the course, the grades are exported to Excel and then imported into Catalyst.
