4.11 Lab (Day 2): S.P. Quiz
In order to answer each quiz question correctly, you will need to... 1.) Take notes on the information presented by the video in Day 1 of your 4.11 Lesson Click HERE to View Video! 2.) Complete a virtual lab simulation for "Succession" found on the following website: http://www.mrphome.net/mrp/succession.swf Open a separate browser window (or tab) so you can complete the quiz while you work through the lab exercise. |
Be sure to view ALL of the information by using the arrow in the top-hand right corner to scroll through pages associated with each specific tab. |
Points will be earned automatically _IF_ you provide the auto-grading feature with a typed response that is in the appropriate format. Typed answers, in the form of a word or phrase, MUST be spelled correctly to earn full credit. Only include capital letters or other punctuation if it is truly needed for the statement to be grammatically correct.
After submitting your completed quiz, be sure to review the graded version for autograding accuracy. Please know that I am more than willing to reevaluate the autograding of a question (or questions); however, you will need to let me know when human intervention is desired. If you discover a response has been marked as incorrect by the autograding feature and you feel it is an acceptable answer based on my grading guidelines, send me a k-mail message with the affected question number or numbers.
Thank You!
