Homework:  Do the Universe homework with the answers in back of the book, for practice.
    Ask questions about your homework on WebX or in class.
    This will prepare you for your chapter quizzes each week.
    You do not have to turn homework in.  Put it in your portfolio.

Universe online quizzes:  Take the online Universe quiz each Friday, after you have completed the reading and homework and participated in program activities.
    Take the quiz for each chapter we read each week.   Sometimes you may have two quizzes in one week.
    These are open-book quizzes.  Use them as a learning opportunity, and take your time.  Click Submit when you finish.
    You may take each quiz as many times as you like. 
    Ask questions about quizzes on WebX or in class.

InQsit surveys:  Occasionally, you will take surveys or quizzes on inQsit (e.g. first week, midquarter, and end or quarter). 
    In your web browser, go to http://grace.evergreen.edu/inqsit/
    click Enter here - Continue
    choose WebSurvey (for example)
    enter your name, and fill in your responses.

Don't worry if InQsit tries to grade you on a survey.
You can take most surveys repeatedly if you like.

If you want to print out a survey, DO PRINT PREVIEW first to save paper.
On some surveys or quizzes, you can go back and see your answers (but not always).

Universe Online Quizzes:

1. Register with Kaufmann & Freedman's Universe online. We do this in class week 1. When it asks for your professor's email, type in zita@evergreen.edu. Here is a registration help sheet from the publisher.

2. Login to Universe online each Friday. Choose Online Quizzing for this week's chapter.  Enter your professor's email so she receives results.

3. Take the quiz. There is no time limit (though if your session is silent for too long your connection may time out), but try not to look everything up.

HINT: when you are asked to calculate numbers, usually an order-of-magnitude estimate will do the trick. You do not need a calculator. Make it easy by using ratios or scientific notation. Use simple relations, e.g. one parsec is about 3 light-years. Do not stress out with overkill precision.

When you are done, the online session will tell you what you got right, and will send your results to Dr. Zita.
