Some pages have animations. I recommend watching them which will help with grasping some of the concepts

Also, there are review questions throughout the module…I suggest completing them and making sure you do well before moving on

Once you are done, you will reach the “summary page” and cannot click “next” any longer

What you need to do next is click the “Quiz” link on the left side of the module

This will take you to the module quiz which will act as your proof of extra credit

After clicking on the “Quiz” link, you will be brought to the “Quiz Instructions” page

Read the instructions, then click “Begin the quiz >” Another page may open and is the “Disclaimer” for the

module. Read this, then click “Continue to the quiz” You will now be brought to the quiz. Please answer all of the

questions as best as you can. Once you’re done, you will see your score (SAVE THIS PAGE…see next slide)

The number of extra credit points you will receive can be found by dividing the score you received by 10 So if you get an 88 on the quiz, 88/10= 8.8

VERY IMPORTANT!!!

To receive extra credit you need to do two things:1. Print out the first page of your scoresheet called “Space

Weather Basics, 2nd Edition.” This page needs to be printed while you are in Firefox or Explorer…I need to see the score percentage, as well as with a date and time stamp (printer does this automatically if you print from within the browser). The following is an example similar to the page I will be looking for:

2. Number 2: You also need to print out a copy of the Certificate of Completion that has your name and course listed. Print this out and attach it to your results page that has your score:

Extra Credit

So, to earn extra credit, you must submit both the score sheet which lists your score in %, and the certificate of completion

I cannot award you extra credit if you fail to turn in just one of these….I NEED THEM BOTH!

Again, extra credit is due by April 13th at 5:00pm in my office or mailbox in CL 425.
