Examinations are online
The exam consists of two computer-marked tests per section; in addition, at the end of the course you will do both an individual assignment and a group project. The course grade is obtained when all five parts are approved. Your grade will be a straight pass or fail.
The basic and final tests are computer marked
For each section of the course, there is both a basic and a final test. Links to the tests can be found in the "Student Lounge" that you arrive at when you log in with your personal user name. You cannot fail these tests; if you do not pass, you can just take the test again until you do. To pass one of these tests you must get all the questions right.
 |
The final tests consist of three randomly generated questions that are automatically marked by the computer. Here, you are expected to solve a problem on paper and input your answer. You must answer all three questions correctly at the same sitting to pass.
If you give the wrong answer to any question, you can make another attempt. You will now be presented with three new versions of the questions; even if you passed one or more of the previous questions, you start from scratch and have to pass all three questions again. However, keep in mind that it is your final performance that is recorded in the statistics of the course.
The assignments are an essential part of the exam
Assignments make up Part 5 of the course. Via a link on the home page of the course for assignments, you will be able to download your individual assignment when you are halfway into the course. When you have passed three-quarters of all the tests you may submit your solution to the assignments.
In the assignments, you are expected to be able to present an idea or an argument in your own words and not just give an answer or choose an alternative. Your individual assignment need not be perfect; it is only at the next stage — when you are working together with other participants — that the solutions need to be finalised.
Group assignments teach you to discuss mathematics with others
When you submit your solution to your individual assignment, you will be automatically grouped with three other people who recently submitted their individual submissions. The group is automatically assigned its own group forum, where members can communicate with each other; at the group forum there is an icon to click on when the group is ready to submit the joint project.
The group's task is to review all the members' individual submissions and then agree on a common 'best' solution to each of the individual projects.
The group will then make a joint submission and it is these solutions that are reviewed and commented on by the teacher. The teacher communicates with the entire group, and if there is anything the group has missed you have the opportunity to make a new group submission until everything is satisfactory and can be approved. To pass this part of the course you need to participate actively (by asking questions, for example) and to help with work on the joint final submission.
Wait to submit your assignment if you are planning to be away from the course.
For example, if you are away and you do not have access to the Internet then this will cause problems for the other group members as they cannot begin work with the group assignment. Therefore, if you know that you will be away from the course, please wait to submit your assignment until you have returned and can be active in the group.
