cognitive psychology

We need to make sure your system and location are working correctly. Don’t wait ’til Tuesday to find out you can’t take the first test.

Additionally, I’m thinking group 1 is going to share some good info tomorrow. See you there.

Hello Scholars,

Looks like we are ready for our first online exam on Tuesday. It will take place in Vista. If you are enrolled in the class you should see something that says, “Learning and Cognition – Spring 2009 PSYC-3310-A“.

Once inside you should make sure your system works before the morning test time by taking the practice quiz. At 8 a.m. the invisible test will appear and allow you to begin. It must be completed by the time our regularly scheduled class is over at 9:25.

The test is open book and note. Closed other students. Take the test the traditional way, then use any remaining time to learn the material you were unable to answer.

If anyone is caught trying to cheat in this pro-learning environment I will Fail you and ask the Vice President for Academic Affairs to expel you from the university.

Spend some more time studying before Thursday. Be there at 8 for our collaborative exam. I’ll be placing you into groups. The collaborative exam will be closed book and notes, but you will most likely have three brains… that should be more than enough power to plow through the material.

I’ll be in my office during our online testing time to calm any emergencies you might create for yourself.

Best, prof_chuck

Scholars,

Can someone problem solve VISTA?

I’ve compiled an exam and am currently waiting on VISTA to come back online so I can upload it. It should be fixed before our class time this afternoon. Should it not be, check back here for further instructions. The test is a bit shorter, I’m looking at 75 minutes of class time so you should be able to do a bit of learning during the exam period. Work Smart!

It looks like VISTA is down for a bunch of state universities:

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College
Armstrong Atlantic State University
Bainbridge College
College of Coastal Georgia
Darton College
Fort Valley State University
Gainesville State College
Georgia Gwinnett College
Georgia Highlands College
Georgia Southern University
Georgia Southwestern State University
Gordon College
Kennesaw State University
Medical College of Georgia
Middle Georgia College
North Georgia College & State University
South Georgia College
Southern Polytechnic State University
Southern Regional Education Board (SREB)
University of West Georgia
USG Alternative Media Access Center
Waycross College

You should see the exam after 1:20 (you might need to refresh the page). You will have up to 85 minutes to complete the exam. When it says time is up, turn it in. If you are more than a minute or two over time I will not accept your exam and I can see how long each of you take. Grades will be available after the collaborative exam on Wednesday.

Use this as a learning experience to help you prepare for Wednesday.

Break a leg, prof_chuck
