2011 Lab Assignment Homework Schedule

for Desire to Learn (D2L) Homework Data Entry for Fall 2011

for Dr. James F. Thompson's Human A&P Labs.

You will submit parts of your laboratory homework assignments through APSU D2L and receive on-line grading for your work. 

I suggest you print out this schedule as a reminder of the homework due dates.  Keep it with you Lab Manual.

Before you begin answer entry on D2L, you should write down the correct answers in your lab manual.  There are several reasons for having the answers already written down in you lab manual:  (1)  It will make data entry on D2L simpler and faster; (2) It will make it easier for you to check your work when it is graded; and (3) It will be much easier to study the material in the lab manual when you begin to study for the lab practical exams.

Notes:

1.  You will not be given credit for answers spelled incorrectly!
2.  For multiple choice questions, you may enter the letter of the choice or you may enter the whole word.  The D2L Lab Assignment will indicate when to type the word(s) and when to type only the appropriate letter.  However, when you enter the whole word you must enter the complete word or phrase as shown in the list of answers from the lab manual and it must be spelled correctly.
3.  If you disagree with an answer, you can e-mail your question to me at thompsonj@apsu.edu.  Be sure to identify completely the question to which you are referring and the alternate answer you think is correct, but which was graded as incorrect. 

 For example, "In Lab Assignment 1, Exercise 1 (Body Orientation, Direction, Planes, and Section) Question 3: 10, I think answer "so-and-so" should also be counted as correct."

[You can cut and paste the information highlighted in color above about the question from the D2L question itself into your E-mail.]

If I agree, I will change the key so all students can get a point for the additional correct answer possibility.

Use the on-line lab syllabus accessed through Desire to Learn (APSU D2L) which provides links to the weekly lab guides you will need to read prior to attending each week's lab.

Check D2L frequently, at least weekly, to be sure you don't miss any announcements about lab.

APSU's D2L System

Reminder:  You will need to use the D2L System software at APSU.   You can access it at this web address:  https://elearn.apsu.edu/.  Your new username will be composed of your A number.  You must look up this number in APWeb for Students.  The password is the same one that you use for APMAIL.  Your full SSN serves as your initial password.
