How to do the 21st Century Reading TED Talks 2 assignments...

This is the course page for 21st Century Reading TED Talks 2 on the DavesLL website.
To help you do the assignments more smoothly, quickly and improve your grades, it is important to understand the preparation, structure and instructions for these assignments.

PREPARATION
Before you do the assignments you should understand these online resources.

• unit summaries

• watch the videos

• read the video transcripts

• listen to audio

To understand these resources, I strongly recommend you read How to succeed or check out the tutorial. I'll post the link to the tutorial in the transcript below.

ASSIGNMENTS
There are two kinds of assignments... study quizzes... and tests.

STUDY QUIZ STRUCTURE
The study quiz assignments are not tests.
It is possible to get a score of 100% in every study quiz.
You just have to work hard.
COURSEWORK & HOMEWORK grades are based on your study quiz assignment scores.
The features of these quizzes include...

- Questions in the study quizzes are the same as the questions in the textbook.
- You can check and correct your answers without penalty.
- You have 3 attempts at each quiz.
- The pass mark is 60%.

If you need more attempts, just tell me.
Scores of less than 60% are still valid and count towards your grade.
They are not automatically changed to zero.

STUDY QUIZ GOALS
Do all the study quizzes for each semester.
Get 100% score.

STUDY QUIZ INSTRUCTIONS
This is how you do the quizzes.

・Click on the quiz link. For example, unit 01...
・Then click on "Attempt quiz now".
・Do the quiz...
　- answer the questions
　- check your answers
　- correct your mistakes
　- finish the attempt
　- click "Submit all and finish"
　- check your score

Remember you can repeat these quizzes if you want to get a higher score.
It is much easier and faster if you refer to your previous quiz attempt while you are completing the 2nd attempt.
If you do multiple attempts, only your highest score will be submitted.

TESTS STRUCTURE
Your TESTS grades are based on one-time-only vocabulary tests.
The vocabulary is taken from the textbook and the assignments.
So it's better to complete the assignments before you do the tests.
You can also refer to your textbook while you are doing the tests.
These tests are not on a timer.

The features of these tests include...
- You can check and correct your answers, but there is a small penalty each time.

- You have 2 attempts at each quiz.
- The pass mark is 60%.

Scores of less than 60% are still valid and count towards your grade.
They are not automatically changed to zero.

TESTS GOALS

Do all the tests.
There are five tests to do each semester.
Get the best score that you can.

TESTS INSTRUCTIONS
This is how you do the tests.

・Click on the test link. For example, test 01...
・Then click on "Attempt quiz now".
・Do the test...
　- answer the questions in order
