All subjects have four criteria for completion:

1. Define Terms with examples for each term.

2. Write a Summary/Notes/Works of each work or video (minimum 3-5 sentences per work or video). Label clearly for teacher to see work.

3. Answer Important Questions after watching the videos, reading the text, and taking notes.

4. Take Exam or write Assessment

Terms

An "A" or Full credit looks like the following:

Theme: One of the first questions to ask upon hearing someone has written a story is, “What’s it about?” or “What’s the point?” Short answers may range from love to betrayal or from the coming of age to the haziness of memory. The central idea, topic, or point of a story, essay, or narrative is its theme.

Example of Theme: A man, fueled by an urge for power and control due to his own pride, builds a supercomputer. That supercomputer then takes over the world, causing chaos and struggle galore.

This sci-fi style story contains many common themes. A few of its themes include:

• Danger of excessive pride

• The risky relationship between humankind and developing technology

(Note: Term is present with a thorough definition and an excellent example of the term)

A "B" or partial credit looks like:

Theme: One of the first questions to ask upon hearing someone has written a story is, “What’s it about?” or “What’s the point?” Short answers may range from love to betrayal or from the coming of age to the haziness of memory. The central idea, topic, or point of a story, essay, or narrative is its theme.

(Note: there is NO example of the word)

A "C" or part credit looks like:

Theme: One of the first questions to ask upon hearing someone has written a story is, “What’s it about?” or “What’s the point?”

(Note: there is NO example and a very brief explanation of the term).

All Terms should be present and when finished will be at least 1-2 pages of work in order to receive a "C" or better.

Summary/Notes/

Works

An "A" or Full credit looks like the following:

Notes/Summary

What are Isotopes -

• All atoms of a particular element have the same atomic number, meaning same number of protons

• Mass is equal to number of protons and neutrons

• Atoms of the same element with different masses are isotopes, meaning same number of protons but different number of neutrons

• Neutrons equals mass number minus protons

• Isotopes have the same chemical properties, neutrons have no effect on chemical behavior

History of Atomic Theory -

• 2,500 years ago the theory of atoms was created, but they suspected everything was made of tiny particles of said thing

• 2,300 years later the law of conservation of mass was created

• Discharge tubes were used to study atoms

• Cathode rays had a negative charge, and it was discovered they also emitted a positive charge so there must be a positive charge in matter

• Positive charge is only in the center nucleus and atoms are primarily empty space

The Nucleus -

• Einstein mathematically proved atoms existed by proving brownian motion

• Atoms are made up of protons, electrons, and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are near the nucleus

• Number of protons determines its element

• Nucleus is unaffected by chemical reactions

• Neutrons don’t change any chemical properties because they have no charge

• Relative atomic mass is roughly the number of protons and neutrons

• Isotopes have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons

The Electron -

• Electrons are wave-particle dualities

• Atoms are iso-electrically the same when they have the same number of electrons

• Electron affinity is the energy created when adding an electron

(Note: Every video is commented on with notes clearly in the students own word and is not cut or pasted, a link to the video is present, and when complete can print to about 3 pages of notes in 12 point font Times New Roman)

A "B" or partial credit looks like:

(Note: Video has commented in the student's voice, but is simple with little detail, a link to the video may be present, and when complete can print to about 2 pages of notes in 12 point font Times New Roman)

A "C" or part credit looks like:

What are Isotopes -

• each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element.

History of Atomic Theory -

• the theory that all matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles (atoms). According to the modern version, the atoms of each element are effectively identical, but differ from those of other elements, and unite to form compounds in fixed proportions.

(Note: notes are present but are summary and may not be in student's own voice. When complete can print to about 1 page or less of notes in 12 point font Times New Roman)

All Notes/Summary/Work notes should be completely finished will be at least 2-3 pages of work in order to receive a "C" or better. 2-3 pages for the Notes section.

important questions

An "A" or Full credit looks like the following:

Important Questions

1. Define what nutrition is and why it is important?

Nutrition is the science that interprets the nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism. Good nutrition is essential to living a healthy lifestyle, your diet can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight, reduce risk of chronic diseases(such as heart disease and cancer), and promote your overall health.

2. What is a nutritionally balanced diet?

It includes food from these five groups: vegetables, fruits, grains, protein, and dairy.

3. Explain the importance of not eating a lot in food.

It’s important to not overeat because it leads to weight gain and increase of developing a chronic disease, such as diabetes or heart disease.

4. Name three good healthy eating habits.

• Eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, and high-fiber foods.

• Watch out for sugars

• Eat a balanced diet of foods such as nuts, meats, and starches.

(Note: Every question is answered in detail with commentary from the student, questions are labeled, links to articles where the student found the information are present in the response)

It’s important to not overeat because it leads to weight gain and increase of developing a chronic disease, such as diabetes or heart disease. I think we should all have balance in our lives and eat and exercise.

  • It concludes

Test should have your First and Last Name clearly typed.

All Test will be reviewed by the teacher of record in the testmoz.com master program. Note: If you cheat and do not get a 60% or better your score will automatically be the one in the system, then you will no longer allowed to test and automatically fail.

All essays/assessments will follow the rubric above. They must be four paragraphs or more for a passing grade.

Here is an example of how a passing assignment should look (five pages, with all the criteria for passing):

This is an example of how to take notes on the Works for English:

This is an example of what a "C" looks like for credit...(some commentary that is original, but mostly summary of the topics)...
