Checklist and Grading Policies

Checklist

The TOR checklist, shown below, lists each activity (assessment, assignment, discussion) that you must complete in order to finish the TOR. It also lists the amount of points possible, and the points required in rode to "pass". For a printable version, please see the TOR Checklist PDF.

Grading Policies

Attempts Allowed

For quizzes 1-5 you are allowed three attempts to complete with a passing score. If you are unable to complete any of these assessments after the third try, please e-mail gslis_tor@simmons.edu. You might be asked to schedule an appointment with a Technology Reference Assistance or a Library Assistant. During the meeting, which will last anywhere from 10-40 minutes, you will be able to go through any of the trouble spots you encountered.

You are allowed one attempt for the Part 3 Assessment. Please have both your wiki and web pages completed before beginning the assessment, as it simply provides a space for you to copy and paste the URLs.

Results

Official results will be e-mailed by Friday, March 12th.

In the meantime...

Before official notification comes out, you can check your grades at any time in eLearning: just click on the "My Grades" icon in the side menu bar. You will see your grades listed in table format. Quiz results are updated by 4:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. For the PDF assignment and discussion board posts, grades are entered manually, usually by 4:00 p.m. on Friday. If your grades do not appear by the following Monday, please e-mail gslis_tor@simmons.edu.

Incomplete TOR submission

If you do not complete the TOR by the deadlines, notification will be sent to all GSLIS faculty, with a warning that you might not be prepared to use the technology required for their classes. If you are unable to complete the TOR on time, send an e-mail to gslis_tor@simmons.edu.
