Progress evaluations are open-book assignments that test your knowledge and understanding of the course material.
There are ten progress evaluations in this course, one after each lesson. Each progress evaluation consists of 12–24 multiple-choice questions worth 1 point each. The points you earn on progress evaluations count toward your final course grade.
Before attempting to answer the questions in a progress evaluation, be certain you have completed your reading assignment for the lesson. You may use the commentaries and your notes to complete the progress evaluations, but the online lesson submission form will not allow you to move to a different page without submitting the lesson. It is therefore in your best interest to answer the progress evaluation questions first by using a printed copy of the
progress evaluation preview
; then, use the commentaries to check your answers before submitting them on the actual lesson submission page.
Reminder: You will not be able to switch from an
actual progress evaluation lesson submission page to the corresponding
lesson without submitting the input from the lesson submission page,
so use a printed copy of the progress evaluation preview to mark your
answers and check them against the commentary and/or textbook. If you
do not understand a question or are unsure of the correct response, you
should mark the answer you consider the most likely to be correct. Because
the same number of points is subtracted for a wrong answer as for no answer,
it is in your best interest to make an educated guess. When you have finished
entering your answers on the lesson submission page, simply click on "Submit"
to submit your answers to the Center for Distance and Independent Study
for scoring.
Note: Progress evaluations must be submitted in
sequence, and you may submit no more than three progress evaluations in
a seven-day period. You should keep the printed copy of each progress
evaluation preview with your answers marked so you will have a record
of them.
After each progress evaluation has been scored, you will receive a lesson
report. Lesson response time is immediate for lessons submitted over the
Web. The lesson report gives you your score on the lesson and provides
feedback on any incorrect answers. This feedback includes additional comments
about the questions and references to material in the commentaries that
will help explain why the choice you selected was incorrect. Either print
out the feedback page when you receive it or mark on the printout of the
progress evaluation preview which answers you missed and the correct answers
to those questions so you will have a printed record to help you study
for the exams.
If the feedback still does not help you understand troublesome questions,
then you may call, write, or cdis@missouri.edu
send e-mail to the Center, describing your specific difficulty. Be sure
to identify the course and the lesson number as well as the question number.
You must submit your inquiries concerning progress evaluation questions
or scoring before you take the final examination.
