During each week of instruction (ergo, not including vacation weeks), each student must complete five activities on Quizlet.com.
Students must complete two easy activities, two medium activities, and one difficult activity.
The deadline for completing your five activities a week will be 11:59 PM on Friday night.
Easy Activities: Choose and complete two of these each week.
Flashcards / Cards: These are simple study flashcards. Students must complete the entire set in order to receive credit.
Scatter / Match: You must complete Scatter / Match at least twice in order to receive credit for one activity, because Scatter / Match takes about 30 seconds and is very easy. You simply match the Latin word with its English definition.
Medium Activities: The only activity Quizlet offers of medium-level activity is “Test,” so you will have to complete Test twice during each week.
Test: Gives a test on the material so you can use it as a self-diagnostic. This grade will not be recorded as a test grade in my gradebook, but you can use it to improve your mastery of the material. When you do the “Test” activity, be sure to unclick “written” so that you limit the question types to matching, multiple choice, and true/false. You must score at least 90% correct in order to receive credit for this activity.
Difficult Activities: Choose and complete one of these each week.
Write: In the “Write” activity, you type in the English definition for each Latin term. Be sure to have the “See Latin first” box checked. If you do not type the definition exactly, but provide a partially correct answer or a synonym, you can click the “Override: I was right” link and it will count your answer as correct. You must score at least 85% correct in order to receive credit for this activity.
Gravity: In the “Gravity” activity, you type in the English definition before the Latin word scrolls off of the screen. It is a little difficult to keep up at the higher levels, but it is fun. Be sure to click “Show… Latin” at the bottom of the screen.
You must score at least 10,000 points to receive credit for Gravity.
NOTA BENE: YOU SHOULD NEVER BE TYPING LATIN INTO QUIZLET.
IF YOU ARE, REREAD THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
