Grading scheme S – Student passes the Course Evaluation with 81% and above U – Student did not pass the Course Evaluation I – Incomplete grants student extended time to finish course

Dealing with Assessment If there are multiple parts of exam, each part will be graded individually, then the instructor will have to put the calculated total in the grade book. COP 1334 If the assessment is outside D2L, instructor has to put the grade manually back to D2L grade book CTS 2383, CGS 1557

Dealing with Assessment CGS 1510 and CGS 1540 uses assignment as Course Evaluation Since we cannot password-lock an assignment to make sure it is done in a proctored environment, we zip companion files and password-lock the zip file. The password can be found under Proctor Instructions file under file management

Dealing with Assessment 7 classes are using Testout.com as assessment CGS1060c, CTS 1133c, CTS 2131c, CET 2742c, CTS2383c,CTS 2120c, and CTS 1106c, Testout support Scott Cuthbert
