	Take the Sample Respondus Exam as many times as you want, with the highest score counting. 	5	
	When you think you are doing that Sample Respondus Exam correctly and you want the prof to review the video of your Photo ID, your Environmental Check, and all the footage of your taking the exam, email your prof. She will check the video and either enter the 3 or email you screen prints of what you need to change. Until you do the video again and email your prof to check the new one, you will have a 1.11. (You must have a 3 to take the next exam.) 	3	
	Take all Learning Quizzes in Unit 1. 	70	
	In Evidence Requirements, take Evidence Quizzes 1-2 @10 each. 	20	
	Post and reply in Unit 1 Learning Discussion (Tip: If you post as its rubric explains and earn over 14 points and if you make over 60 on the Unit 1 Exam, you earn 10 extra credit incentive points. 	20

One of you still has a 1.11 because you have not responded to the feedback I emailed you in Blackboard Messages. That reply, when done accurately, is worth 50 points for the Good Habits for Evidence and whatever grade I wrote on the feedback for the content/analysis. Act now!	100	
	In Required Writing, when the 3-Part Writing reopens, post 2 peer reviews @ 50 points each (25 points for content and 25 for following all 5 Good Habits for Evidence for each one).	100	
	In Required Writing, when the 3-Part Writing reopens again, reply to the 2 peer reviews of your paper @ 40 points (10 points for content and 10 for following all 5 Good Habits for Evidence for each one; if only 1 student peer reviewed your paper, 20 points for content and 20 for following all 5 Good Habits).
I will grade on the date they are due.	40

	Total	1000	
Use the Total at the Bottom of My Grades to Determine Your Current Letter Grade
Reminder from the syllabus and course plan: 
•	If you have a 5 at the end of the first 3 digits (such as 895), the grade is an A.
•	If you have a 4 at the end of the first 3 digits (such as 894), the grade is a B.

If you have these points	You Have This Current Letter Grade	
895 or more	A     (1000 points X .9)	
795 or more	B     (1000 points X .8)	
695 or more	C     (1000 points X .7)	
595 or more 	D     (1000 points X .6)
