4. Accessing the system Direct the students to the LLC website for logging in. This way, when server migrations occur the move is seamless for students.

5. 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.

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%.

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.
