So, if you learned and studied your quizzes in detail and why everything is wrong, you will learn everything you need to ACE the test.
The concepts sometimes are very confusing, and the quiz being wrong can give you a very simple explanation or a metaphor that can make it "click". For my leadership class on the quizzes that I get a few wrong and I retake it, still it gives me exactly the same quiz with the same wrong questions word for word. No new questions rotating... So if I were to get the same questions wrong a third time would they then rotate?
Or is this only for the courses with multiple choice finals?
Did you prefer the exams or the projects/ papers? Were they lengthy, and timed exams? DIfficult? I need to choose upper level electives ...
There are 2 types of quizzes in YourPace. The most common one you take the quiz at the end of the concept. The other one you have to get every question correct before the concept unlocks. This type is more common in courses with exams. The exams I had were all 3 hours long. Level of difficulty will vary from person to person and from course to course.

He talks about adaptive quizzes. Leadership class does not have adaptive assessments. Thanks! I appreciate the help.

For those that have taken exams .... did you prefer them over papers or projects? Trying to decide on 3 upper level elective choices... I am leaning towards those three being exams to offset all the time needed for the papers and projects of all my other classes. I am assuming even with studying time those courses with exams will be faster to complete. But maybe harder?

Jessica sent me a list of available courses, but she was not sure if the list was updated .I sent an email to Cody last Thursday about the same thing and I am still waiting for a response

It all depends on the subject matter. We all have different levels of experience and knowledge. Some papers can be written in a few hours. Every exam I spent 2.5+ hours taking not including studying.

Business analytics is one I am looking at for this session though.

I ask because I submitted my draft a week ago and I am still waiting to hear back from them.

I ask because I submitted my draft a week ago and I am still waiting to hear back from them. I have completed the Leadership class but just now working on my final paper (1st draft). With the holiday weekend and my last 2 milestones still not affirmed, I switched to my second course. Although, now I think since my final was unlocked I was good to go all along and didnt realize it. So I have two courses done total but neither final finished!
