Mathematics 1228A Assignment 5 Page 2
Tony took this course during the year which ended in April. He decided to have the grading scheme without a quiz component apply for him. However, he wanted to see what the quiz questions were like, so each time a quiz was available, he initiated a quiz attempt. He didn’t answer any of the questions, and did not submit the quiz. Tony didn’t realize that when the quiz window closes, the computer automatically submits any unsubmitted quiz that has been initiated. All 20 of Tony’s quizzes were submitted. As far as the Professor is concerned, Tony did attempt the quizzes and therefore his final grade was calculated with 0 out of 10 as his quiz mark. Tony has been arguing with the Professor about this. Tony maintains that by never answering any quiz question, it was clear that his intention was not to do quizzes and therefore not have a quiz component in his grade.
The Professor has decided to compromise with Tony, in the following way. He will reopen all the quiz windows for Tony, to give him his second attempt at each quiz. Tony will receive 1/2 mark for quizzes for each quiz that he gets at least 3 questions right on.
Tony needs a quiz mark of at least 4 out of 10 to improve his grade to a pass. The Professor has made it clear that he will not bump Tony’s mark if he’s close – Tony must pass at least 8 of the 20 quizzes in order to receive a passing grade in the course.
Tony is about to sit down at his laptop and do the 20 quizzes. The professor has forgotten that Tony can see his original quiz attempts, including being able to see which was the correct answer for each question. For each quiz question, Tony will look at his original attempt at that quiz on his phone, to see if it is a repeat question. If it is, he will select what he knows is the right answer choice. For any question that is not a repeat question, Tony will randomly choose one of the 5 answer choices, because he has forgotten what little he did know about the course material.
