Always use KCloud.

14. Student Tools • You may see symbols on the left side of instructional pages that include a highlighter, the option to have text read to you, formula charts, calculators, etc. Click on these to see what they can do for you. • On the top right of the screen, you will see the word English. If you click this, you can choose to have the text translated to another language. Note: the language the teacher is speaking will not change. • Clicking on the sign on the right of the screen will allow you to view the transcript and provides a place to keep eNotes.

15. Written Assignments • In English classes, there may be written assignments. Take these assignments seriously! They will be graded by the monitoring teacher and will affect your grade in the course. • You will not be able to take your exam until these assignments have been completed and graded, so be sure to let your teacher know when you have turned these in.

16. Before Taking the Exam • You will be given a review before the exam. Try your best on this review. The grade you earn on it is likely to be close to the same grade you will receive on the final exam. • The review does not factor into your grade, so looking up the answers will not help you, and may give you a false impression of mastering the content. • If you get a low grade on the review, it is a good idea to review the information you didn’t understand prior to coming in to take the exam.
