| 00:02 | Oh, hello everybody. This um, what I would call the |
|
| 00:06 | video for uh biology 23 01. hope everyone is nice and warm and |
|
| 00:13 | and sound uh for this. what do we call this? |
|
| 00:18 | very sunny but very cold day. , this class is that and physiology |
|
| 00:24 | . we meet in Agnes Arts. , Agnes Arnold Auditorium. So that's |
|
| 00:29 | little tiny building uh near the social . And so this is, uh |
|
| 00:33 | meet uh 830 to 10 a.m. And had you, uh gotten up this |
|
| 00:39 | ? It would have been very, cold and we would have in that |
|
| 00:41 | cold room. I'm Dr Wayne. , I am the professor for this |
|
| 00:46 | . Uh You can see here my information. Uh I'm in uh Sr |
|
| 00:51 | which is the science and research Um, if you were going from |
|
| 00:56 | Arnold uh hall or the auditorium to offices, which you'll see here. |
|
| 01:01 | office hours follows class. Um, you would head out as if you're |
|
| 01:06 | to the big uh building that's to west as if you're going towards the |
|
| 01:14 | parking garage and then instead of going the big building, you'd head north |
|
| 01:19 | the little tiny building that's next that's SR two and I'm up on |
|
| 01:23 | second floor. Uh, they're doing that new construction right next door to |
|
| 01:27 | . So it's very easy to kind miss that smaller four story building. |
|
| 01:32 | , in the midst of all that . Uh, the easy way to |
|
| 01:34 | in contact with me is to email . My email is here C Wayne |
|
| 01:38 | uh dot edu. Um I usually emails between nine and 430. Um |
|
| 01:46 | don't answer emails. Usually in the . I like to go home |
|
| 01:50 | and relax. I don't like to my work home with me unless I |
|
| 01:54 | have to. So if you need contact me, this is the easiest |
|
| 01:58 | to do. So you notice there is no phone numbers and that's |
|
| 02:02 | because the university has gone to a IP system using MS teams and I |
|
| 02:07 | have that turned on and frankly, just get really irritated by it. |
|
| 02:12 | , uh this is gonna be the way to contact me or you can |
|
| 02:15 | by, um, during my office . Uh, my office hours are |
|
| 02:19 | after class. So we'll meet from to 10 and then, uh, |
|
| 02:23 | after class, from 10 till about , I have office hours. I |
|
| 02:28 | another class starting at 1130. That's we end around 1115, if you |
|
| 02:33 | meet during those times. Uh, you gotta do is email me, |
|
| 02:35 | can make an appointment and I'll be to meet with you sometime that works |
|
| 02:40 | both of us. So, what we have going on here? |
|
| 02:46 | first off, uh, make sure read your syllabus. This is basically |
|
| 02:50 | , um, end user license agreement . Ya, it outlines everything that |
|
| 02:54 | need to know about the course, what the policies for the course |
|
| 02:57 | which are taken uh by uh not departmental but university standards talks about the |
|
| 03:03 | honesty policy. It outlines in essence we're going to do in the course |
|
| 03:09 | is basically saying this is what we on doing, this is how you're |
|
| 03:13 | earn your grade. And you're saying you read this and when you take |
|
| 03:17 | classes that you're going to abide by rules of the course. And so |
|
| 03:21 | everything you need to know about the , anything uh that includes grading that |
|
| 03:27 | um uh when tests are, when are due, everything is gonna be |
|
| 03:31 | there. Of course, you can go on the blackboard or excuse me |
|
| 03:35 | the canvas and the syllabus is also as well. Just some general policy |
|
| 03:42 | that you should be aware of. anything you need to know about the |
|
| 03:45 | can be found through the search Uh just go to uh dot edu |
|
| 03:50 | there at the top, you'll see big old, uh, um, |
|
| 03:54 | symbol for the search. And what can do is just type in any |
|
| 03:58 | of term that you want and most will be found almost instantaneously that |
|
| 04:03 | But really some of the key uh you should know when you're, |
|
| 04:06 | , when some of the important dates . So the last day to drop |
|
| 04:10 | class without any sort of grade will January 31st. It's what is called |
|
| 04:14 | um uh the ORP or the uh day when um uh all the roles |
|
| 04:25 | officially due. So, um I Orp, it's ord it's official Role |
|
| 04:31 | . Um So, but uh if still in the class by that |
|
| 04:34 | if you are now officially in the , uh you will get a |
|
| 04:39 | whether it's uh a letter grade or W uh the last day to drop |
|
| 04:43 | class with a W. So if not comfortable with your grade and you |
|
| 04:49 | deciding not to stay in the That last day with a withdraw A |
|
| 04:53 | is on the 17th of April, is really towards the very end of |
|
| 04:56 | semester. Uh There are other dates the calendar that you probably will find |
|
| 05:02 | , that is easy to find the calendar, just type in the search |
|
| 05:07 | academic calendar and it will pop up it will give you every date that's |
|
| 05:12 | and necessary or you know, so example, if you are a graduating |
|
| 05:16 | , it will show you dates when are due. Uh It will give |
|
| 05:20 | a link to when uh the final period is um uh what dates are |
|
| 05:26 | um the last day of class, date is uh spring break this |
|
| 05:31 | that sort of stuff. So that be in the academic calendar. Uh |
|
| 05:35 | , uh the uh you should be with the undergraduate catalog in general. |
|
| 05:40 | are the rules by which you are underneath the uh umbrella of the |
|
| 05:44 | But one of the important ones is honesty. Basically, it says, |
|
| 05:48 | lie, don't cheat, don't but that doesn't really say anything. |
|
| 05:52 | so it kind of outlines what the are for that and what your rights |
|
| 05:57 | as a student. So that's probably that you should probably look into if |
|
| 06:02 | a student who has a need for certain sorts of accessibility that can be |
|
| 06:07 | through uh uhwdu uh slash accessibility. if you can't remember that, just |
|
| 06:13 | accessibility into that search engine and you get that information as well. So |
|
| 06:19 | use canvas as our learning management Um It is not the first semester |
|
| 06:24 | uh it is something that we're still to learn um as faculty. Many |
|
| 06:29 | you who had it in high it's not an issue. But for |
|
| 06:32 | that this is something um prior to semester, we were using board for |
|
| 06:38 | 14 years plus. So this is the announcements are. This is where |
|
| 06:42 | can find core syllabus and general Any time I have something for you |
|
| 06:47 | the powerpoints assignments, anything will be there. And I'll show you how |
|
| 06:52 | navigate uh what's important for you guys at the end of this video. |
|
| 06:56 | I also record these lectures uh in . I do not recommend not coming |
|
| 07:02 | class. In fact, if you on using the lectures solely, uh |
|
| 07:06 | video recording lectures solely as a means studying, you can go ahead and |
|
| 07:09 | on either getting ac or, or in the course because there is a |
|
| 07:15 | correlation between uh attending class and um performing well in class. But in |
|
| 07:22 | , the gist of it is, I do want to record lectures. |
|
| 07:24 | if you do miss a class or you miss a, a point or |
|
| 07:29 | in class, you have uh uh know, something to go back |
|
| 07:33 | to go and listen to should you to. And lastly the grade book |
|
| 07:37 | I have here mostly inaccurate grades. less. So, um once I've |
|
| 07:42 | of explored the, the grade book semester, I see that it's a |
|
| 07:45 | bit more accurate than blackboard is. so this is a way uh since |
|
| 07:49 | doing everything through um canvas um or uh things that are delivered to |
|
| 07:56 | um including your exams. Uh The are pretty well calculated there. |
|
| 08:00 | um anyway, that's where your grades and you keep track of your |
|
| 08:05 | The textbook that we use in this is called anatomy and physiology and |
|
| 08:09 | Um It's uh what, what I to over and over again as top |
|
| 08:14 | . So when you hear Top that's usually the textbook and the assignments |
|
| 08:19 | come out of it. And so a link directly to the top hat |
|
| 08:23 | um in canvas um that you can to. And so there is gonna |
|
| 08:28 | reading every class period that you have have before you come to class. |
|
| 08:32 | also um part of that reading assignment questions that need to be answered. |
|
| 08:37 | that's gonna be part of your grade there are some other assignments out of |
|
| 08:40 | head as well. Some homework assignments come from another uh product which is |
|
| 08:47 | Connect. Um It's really the whole is called A P the A MP |
|
| 08:51 | Suite, which is just a fancy for all the parts that are |
|
| 08:55 | But for your purposes, connect is it is. And again, these |
|
| 08:58 | access through connect. And since most you are using C tap, you've |
|
| 09:02 | have it. And so it's easy easily assessed or assess accessible the way |
|
| 09:08 | my courses are designed typically, especially this is an early level course. |
|
| 09:13 | we call a freshman level course, though it has a 2000 level uh |
|
| 09:17 | to it is I try to design courses to help train you to approach |
|
| 09:24 | in a way that will lead to success. All right. And so |
|
| 09:27 | that means is, is I've spent lot of time over the last couple |
|
| 09:30 | years trying to hone in on how make students learn. And so this |
|
| 09:35 | kind of the, the pinnacle of that is. And so what we |
|
| 09:39 | is we i, the way that give you information is in a very |
|
| 09:42 | fashion. So I have an expectation you're going to do something before |
|
| 09:46 | you're gonna do something in class and gonna do something out of class. |
|
| 09:49 | so the idea here is before the , you're gonna be reading textbook, |
|
| 09:53 | is gonna expose you to the ideas the concepts that we're gonna be |
|
| 09:58 | Um oh and how we approach I'm gonna uh describe a little bit |
|
| 10:02 | here. Uh Secondly, uh you to class, you listen to |
|
| 10:05 | And so here now is what we're is we're focusing in on the concepts |
|
| 10:09 | you, you read about in the in the assignment before class. And |
|
| 10:14 | what we're gonna do is we're gonna the things that you've learned, but |
|
| 10:17 | also kind of getting rid of all material that's unimportant and we're getting, |
|
| 10:22 | to focus in on those important And so when you come to |
|
| 10:26 | what you should be doing is you be taking notes and making notes for |
|
| 10:30 | so that you have things that you use to study for the exam. |
|
| 10:33 | we're, if we're focusing in, basically telling you this is what you |
|
| 10:37 | to know in order for you to . And so that's why you take |
|
| 10:40 | in class and show up to And after class, what you're gonna |
|
| 10:43 | is you're gonna have homework assignments. so the idea here is I am |
|
| 10:47 | to practice what I learned and demonstrate myself that I'm actually learning the |
|
| 10:52 | There's also other work that is not , which is, hey, um |
|
| 10:56 | need to kind of reorganize myself and this material in such a way that |
|
| 11:02 | makes the most sense to me. so the idea behind all three of |
|
| 11:07 | is that you're getting exposure to the material multiple times so that you're actually |
|
| 11:13 | ingraining that information into your, into brain and into your memory. And |
|
| 11:20 | um in another video here, um going to describe the process of how |
|
| 11:25 | go about doing all that. If was a lecture, I would do |
|
| 11:29 | the, the, the introduction and how to study video at the same |
|
| 11:36 | . So let's talk about what these actually are. All right. So |
|
| 11:40 | say we have these top assignment that's of your textbook. This is about |
|
| 11:44 | of your final grade. These are that you have to do. |
|
| 11:48 | uh if you want to earn that you do these assignments, there's two |
|
| 11:51 | types of assignments. The first is reading assignment. This is what you |
|
| 11:55 | before the lecture. So today is orientation. Our first class of actual |
|
| 12:02 | is gonna be Thursday the 18th of . And so between now and |
|
| 12:07 | there's an expectation you're gonna read the reading assignment within that first reading |
|
| 12:13 | there are going to be in chapter , right? Um uh Dealing with |
|
| 12:19 | reading as you're going along. All . So these assignments always open up |
|
| 12:23 | after class. So at 10 a.m. morning, that this particular assignment for |
|
| 12:29 | has already opened up and it will open until uh right before class |
|
| 12:35 | So at 830 that assignment closed. the expectation is is you're reading before |
|
| 12:39 | come to class. If you fail read before class, you're not getting |
|
| 12:42 | for it. Now, with that said, we're in this period that's |
|
| 12:48 | the official reporting day ord. And those first three assignments as I get |
|
| 12:54 | adding into the class, I want keep them open for everybody rather than |
|
| 12:59 | , oh, I've joined the class I'm, I need you to reopen |
|
| 13:02 | assignment. So the first three assignments an extended, uh, opening until |
|
| 13:08 | 30th. Now, when I say that does not mean blow it off |
|
| 13:12 | the 30th. I would start practicing you're supposed to be doing for the |
|
| 13:18 | because if you wait until the last , you're gonna have more reading and |
|
| 13:21 | gonna be able to handle and you're miss out on one understanding the |
|
| 13:26 | which is really the more important thing two on the grades that you're trying |
|
| 13:29 | do. And let's face it before started this semester. You probably said |
|
| 13:33 | gonna do things differently to ensure that successful. And so here's your opportunity |
|
| 13:38 | start living into that. Uh Promise made to yourself. That's the first |
|
| 13:45 | of assignment is the pre lecture, assignments done before class. Then after |
|
| 13:51 | , a new assignment in top head up. Now this still counts part |
|
| 13:54 | the 10% of your grades. So lots of points in here. All |
|
| 13:58 | . And what this does is it up after class and there are these |
|
| 14:01 | hand, open ended questions that deal what we talked about in class. |
|
| 14:07 | really it covers what you read but it also focuses in and what |
|
| 14:11 | doing here is I'm asking you some specific questions that deal with what you're |
|
| 14:16 | to learn what we refer to as learning objectives. And so they might |
|
| 14:20 | like, explain this idea, list things uh you know, identify, |
|
| 14:27 | . So they're more of an open thing. And what they're trying, |
|
| 14:30 | I'm trying to do in these types exercises is to help you focus in |
|
| 14:33 | hone in on the important ideas that trying to learn in this particular |
|
| 14:40 | right? And in essence, what trying to do is you're trying to |
|
| 14:44 | create those notes, those materials that gonna use to help study for the |
|
| 14:48 | . So they're based on the But if you don't know the |
|
| 14:52 | you can go and either listen to old lecture or the recorded lecture or |
|
| 14:56 | can go back to the textbook and those answers. Should you need |
|
| 14:59 | So those are the top hat uh assignments. 10% of your grade, |
|
| 15:04 | other 10% comes from connect. the connect assignments either more a typical |
|
| 15:09 | the type of assignments you're used to multiple choice, you know, the |
|
| 15:13 | in the blank, the matching those of things. All right. And |
|
| 15:17 | again, these are gonna be assignments open up after class and notice we |
|
| 15:21 | two different types of homework assignments that up after class. All right. |
|
| 15:25 | , these are gonna be open until the next day. So Thursday is |
|
| 15:30 | first class where we have a lecture after class at 10, it's going |
|
| 15:37 | the homework assignment opens up and then would happen is, is that that |
|
| 15:41 | would close at Friday at midnight. again, we're gonna have extended deadlines |
|
| 15:47 | for the first three assignments because of , uh, a drop period, |
|
| 15:51 | gonna go back to slide here. here we are at the top hat |
|
| 15:54 | . Those post lecture assignments, they up right after class, but they |
|
| 16:00 | the night before the exam. So have more time to work on these |
|
| 16:05 | of uh, uh open ended Whereas these homework as you have a |
|
| 16:12 | period of time because they're designed as , let me practice what I just |
|
| 16:17 | . Whereas these types of uh our are, let me help prepare myself |
|
| 16:24 | demonstrate to myself that I understand what is. I'm trying to learn. |
|
| 16:28 | right. So two different types of class homework assignments right now, coming |
|
| 16:36 | to the connect, what you'll see when you have these assignments that sometimes |
|
| 16:43 | will just be one assignment. All , they're all gonna be worth 100 |
|
| 16:46 | . But just depending on what a on what we're, what we're learning |
|
| 16:50 | and what I want you to I have different types. So for |
|
| 16:55 | , in this particular case, I an assignment here, let me see |
|
| 16:58 | I can actually get the link uh ink working here, right? So |
|
| 17:04 | in this particular case, right here is one assignment. All right. |
|
| 17:10 | that would be what you'd see is a single assignment. But sometimes what |
|
| 17:13 | see is that you'll see three, two different assignments that fall into the |
|
| 17:20 | of connect. Now, these two groups, this one that's over |
|
| 17:25 | this lecture, one or sorry, lecture two assignment. And these |
|
| 17:31 | lecture, six assignments, they have the same number of questions. They're |
|
| 17:36 | coming from different sources. And so idea here is I'm trying to expose |
|
| 17:41 | maybe to, uh in this particular , I have this assignment here. |
|
| 17:46 | would be something where you're practicing actual , you're looking at uh anatomical |
|
| 17:52 | Whereas an assignment like this is an learning assignment where it's testing to see |
|
| 17:58 | or not you can answer questions about that we covered. All right. |
|
| 18:02 | there are different types of assignments but ultimately, the connect homework is |
|
| 18:08 | between 2040 questions. So on around 30 questions that you need to |
|
| 18:15 | and again, these come due right, the day after class. |
|
| 18:24 | this is kind of how it What is adaptive learning? These are |
|
| 18:28 | that are like more like flash Uh And what we do here is |
|
| 18:33 | , it'll ask you a question, , hey, do you think you |
|
| 18:35 | the answer to this? Then you to answer whether or not you know |
|
| 18:39 | or not? All right. So need to be truthful because what it's |
|
| 18:42 | is it's, it's basically building decks you based on that. And as |
|
| 18:46 | answer questions, it's kind of responding it's like, oh, you |
|
| 18:49 | you know this, but you're answering questions wrong. Well, you don't |
|
| 18:52 | know this. So we're probably gonna more questions at you about this or |
|
| 18:56 | the opposite is like, I don't I know this, but you keep |
|
| 18:59 | questions correctly about whatever the subject Well, it basically say no, |
|
| 19:03 | , you should be confident in this it will kind of build your decks |
|
| 19:07 | from the things you already know. you demonstrate that, you know, |
|
| 19:11 | apr questions as you see here, are those anatomy models I described, |
|
| 19:15 | might be some histology depending upon the we're looking at. And lastly, |
|
| 19:18 | third type of question are the ones you're more akin to or more familiar |
|
| 19:22 | , which are the multiple choice, gas, that sort of stuff. |
|
| 19:26 | , um they kind of have a of type types of questions there. |
|
| 19:33 | another type of assignment. We only one of these and that opens up |
|
| 19:37 | it should be opened up right And it's based upon what we're talking |
|
| 19:40 | in this light set. And it says, hey, did you watch |
|
| 19:44 | ? Did you pay attention? Do understand the structure of the class? |
|
| 19:47 | so this is just a little tiny assessment. Um And it's I call |
|
| 19:52 | an orientation quiz. It's not a . It's basically open ended, it |
|
| 19:55 | open until, uh, January You can repeat it as many times |
|
| 19:59 | you need to till you get a score. So it's not really in |
|
| 20:02 | quiz. It's basically saying, did pay attention to this? But it |
|
| 20:06 | included in the CONNECT grades. So connect is 10% of your grades take |
|
| 20:13 | little assessment um, before January And that goes into that same group |
|
| 20:19 | , of grades that are counted as . So that should be open now |
|
| 20:25 | you can go back and do that a right after this video. |
|
| 20:30 | this uh this slide describes a set questions that confuses everybody. And so |
|
| 20:37 | tried to make this as bad as as possible. All right. |
|
| 20:41 | so far, we've talked about a hat reading assignment that counts for a |
|
| 20:46 | . We've talked about a top hat class assignment that counts as a |
|
| 20:51 | And we've talked about connect questions that as a grade. These questions that |
|
| 20:56 | looking at here are gonna open um and do not count as a |
|
| 21:01 | . So you can see here. already said, do not count for |
|
| 21:04 | . All right. Some students have to me after, you know, |
|
| 21:08 | , hey, it's time to study the test and I've done all my |
|
| 21:10 | and I need more questions. I questions, questions to practice. |
|
| 21:14 | my personal opinion, this is not best way to study, but I'm |
|
| 21:18 | gonna deny you something that you And so top ad has uh end |
|
| 21:23 | uh end of chapter or uh review that they have available. And so |
|
| 21:29 | was like, hey, all let me give you more questions. |
|
| 21:31 | give you these. So these questions found in Top Hat. All |
|
| 21:36 | they look like this you see in , they say review. All |
|
| 21:40 | When you see that you can see how many points they don't have any |
|
| 21:44 | assigned to them. All right. you do not need to do |
|
| 21:47 | You can, you can do this you want to. Now when they |
|
| 21:51 | up is right before the test. on the very last class, right |
|
| 21:57 | the exam at right after class. class always ends at 10 o'clock right |
|
| 22:01 | that, these will become available. so it has a study guide. |
|
| 22:05 | it kind of lists all the different that you learned about. It has |
|
| 22:09 | review questions that if you want to review questions, you can do them |
|
| 22:13 | then I close these uh right after exam day. So the uh you |
|
| 22:18 | your exam during the day and then midnight, they just shut off. |
|
| 22:21 | these are just there because um you , like I said, students asked |
|
| 22:26 | them do not confuse these questions with other open ended top hat questions. |
|
| 22:33 | had students who have ignored the top open ended questions thinking they're review |
|
| 22:37 | They are not, those are to , these are not to do and |
|
| 22:42 | tell you in the name, look the points and see how much things |
|
| 22:46 | worth and it will show you that you shouldn't even be able to see |
|
| 22:50 | until right before the exam. anything that has been assigned to |
|
| 22:54 | um, during the whole unit is count for points. All right. |
|
| 23:00 | that's the idea they're there if you them. So, when are our |
|
| 23:07 | ? Well, we have four Each of these exams are one hour |
|
| 23:10 | . Each of them have 50 This is very standard for the industry |
|
| 23:14 | the fields that you guys are going . I say that count 100 points |
|
| 23:17 | . So just two points per All right. So where do we |
|
| 23:20 | the exams? We take them at . All right. If you're just |
|
| 23:25 | this semester at U of H uh to Casa dot uh dot uh dot |
|
| 23:31 | . And it will describe it's just testing center. There's three of them |
|
| 23:34 | campus. They'll tell us which ones go to uh when you sign up |
|
| 23:38 | I'll show you um you should have link um uh uh on CASA that |
|
| 23:44 | says, hey, uh or on that shows you where the CASA link |
|
| 23:48 | . We'll get to that in just moment. Anyway, four dates. |
|
| 23:50 | first test is February 8th. Then next test is gonna be March |
|
| 23:56 | That's the Thursday right before spring And we have one in April |
|
| 24:00 | So you can see you take three even before the W date and then |
|
| 24:03 | last one, the way this semester it, it, we have, |
|
| 24:07 | , fewer classes. So your last is during the final exam period on |
|
| 24:13 | 7th. So that's a Tuesday, , in the middle of the finals |
|
| 24:17 | . All right. So we have exams spread almost equally throughout the |
|
| 24:21 | So it's roughly every six lectures, or six lectures. You'll have an |
|
| 24:26 | . All right now because our um, we have a class of |
|
| 24:30 | and you're going to the testing center the days that we have exams, |
|
| 24:33 | do not come to class. if you show up to the lecture |
|
| 24:36 | expecting to take an exam, that's gonna happen. If you come to |
|
| 24:41 | hall expecting, you're gonna get a . No one's gonna be there. |
|
| 24:44 | right. What you need to do you need to go at your designated |
|
| 24:49 | to when you, the, the time for your exam, which you |
|
| 24:53 | when you signed up and we'll talk how you do that. All |
|
| 24:57 | Um, the other thing about these , I do not have cumulative |
|
| 25:00 | So at the end of the my expectations, I'm testing you on |
|
| 25:05 | material that you learned in that So on that fourth exam, all |
|
| 25:10 | doing is we're only covering the material we covered in that fourth unit. |
|
| 25:15 | not asking you questions from the 2nd or third unit. All |
|
| 25:19 | the expectation is, is you learn material. So you should know that |
|
| 25:24 | and truthfully in the sciences, everything on the on other things. So |
|
| 25:29 | you are falling behind those later get harder and harder because of the |
|
| 25:34 | . It's kind of like math. if you don't learn how to add |
|
| 25:36 | subtract calculus becomes not impossible because you learn your basic arithmetic. All |
|
| 25:42 | So that's kind of the idea Now, the other thing is this |
|
| 25:45 | I wanna make sure you guys you can't skip an exam. I |
|
| 25:48 | drop your lowest test score. If take an exam, my expectation is |
|
| 25:54 | worked on it. And so I'm going to drop low scores, |
|
| 25:58 | You, you put effort in. why throw away effort? So treat |
|
| 26:03 | exam um equally they are all You have to do well in all |
|
| 26:08 | them. Um OK, so before go there, I'm gonna just describe |
|
| 26:13 | little bit about pasta. I'm gonna a slide for it, but let |
|
| 26:16 | just describe very briefly. All So um actually, uh I |
|
| 26:22 | I'm over here and we are going go and look all right. So |
|
| 26:31 | can see here that I'm circling, CASA right there. So when you |
|
| 26:37 | to uh web page or to this is, this is where all |
|
| 26:42 | action is gonna take place. What want to do is I'm just pointing |
|
| 26:45 | Casa to you. I'm gonna click it right now because I don't think |
|
| 26:49 | is really accessible. But if if you have registered for uh a |
|
| 26:55 | and have taken the exams at Casa then, the only thing you need |
|
| 26:58 | do is click this button two weeks the first exam and schedule an |
|
| 27:04 | If this is your first semester at of H, you need to go |
|
| 27:07 | the CASA website, which I think can click here. Uh And if |
|
| 27:10 | doesn't let you do that, you to go to Casa dot uh dot |
|
| 27:13 | or you can just go to that page and type in CASA and just |
|
| 27:17 | there. And the idea is, they just need to have an account |
|
| 27:21 | you've set up. And so you to this, uh, what you |
|
| 27:25 | is time to take the exam two before you take the exam. Casa |
|
| 27:30 | up the sign up sheet for that . All right. So basically that's |
|
| 27:34 | scheduler. And what you do is can select a slot during the middle |
|
| 27:38 | the day or at any time during day that's available to take your |
|
| 27:42 | So for example, you log in the scheduler, you want to take |
|
| 27:47 | exam early in the day because you want to get it out of the |
|
| 27:51 | you look. Is there an availability 9 a.m. Yes, there is. |
|
| 27:54 | you just click on the slot. now have that slot. You're assigned |
|
| 27:59 | show up to CASA at that So day of the exam you show |
|
| 28:05 | , I would always show up 15 early. You have no idea what |
|
| 28:09 | of traffic you're gonna be dealing You have no idea what the line |
|
| 28:11 | gonna look like. Whatever it is make sure you show up because at |
|
| 28:16 | certain time and I think it's 10 might be 15 minutes. But if |
|
| 28:19 | , if you uh get up to counter and the exam is started and |
|
| 28:24 | 10 to 15 minutes late, they not let you and you've missed your |
|
| 28:28 | . So you've been forewarned. So not an excuse. Oh, |
|
| 28:31 | you know, leave early, don't until the last minute to get |
|
| 28:35 | But what you do is you show to your exam, take your |
|
| 28:39 | the exam score will show up here blackboard because uh basically the exam is |
|
| 28:45 | administered or said blackboard through canvas. your exam is being administered through |
|
| 28:50 | So that's in essence, what's going here. All right. So let's |
|
| 28:56 | back to um the, the So just for your sake. This |
|
| 29:03 | the front page of what you'd see you log into canvas. You should |
|
| 29:06 | all these little tiny uh icons, icons lead you to things. So |
|
| 29:11 | is uh how you'd assess or how access your materials. So getting started |
|
| 29:17 | kind of like the generic. welcome to this class and it kind |
|
| 29:20 | gives you tells you where everything So if you ever get lost, |
|
| 29:23 | can always uh go there. Uh is your syllabus just like the syllabus |
|
| 29:28 | you can download. This is an way to uh get all that |
|
| 29:33 | Um You'll see here also that I'm an older example. So this is |
|
| 29:39 | from last year, but it's the thing. This is the page |
|
| 29:42 | This link right here is the page to access uh everything, right? |
|
| 29:49 | the, the thing that I just you that was the modules page. |
|
| 29:53 | is where everything is. And so uh when, when you come on |
|
| 29:57 | black or on the canvas, this probably where you'll go first because this |
|
| 30:01 | the way you access everything. if you have any uh questions about |
|
| 30:05 | class, you can go to the Q. Uh This is kind of |
|
| 30:09 | university thing. They give you all uh links to all your, all |
|
| 30:12 | resources. And lastly if you need know when my office hours or how |
|
| 30:16 | get me, this is the easy to do that. Um, because |
|
| 30:19 | all the information that's found there. last thing, um, that you'll |
|
| 30:24 | , uh, there is a little that's recordings. This is, |
|
| 30:28 | where you'll get the recordings or go the recordings for this semester. And |
|
| 30:33 | from that site, if you want go find something that's older, you |
|
| 30:37 | go and access those older recordings, , uh, through searching that |
|
| 30:41 | Now, let me just talk about really briefly. Um It's the, |
|
| 30:45 | , the link that we'll be using the website is called video points.org |
|
| 30:50 | That's just a fancy uh website that computer science department has created. So |
|
| 30:56 | not like going to a, a or a privately held company. It |
|
| 31:02 | literally the University of Houston that's running , it's a project that uh graduate |
|
| 31:07 | over computer science are doing as part their phd work. And so, |
|
| 31:12 | it's basically a mockup of something that trying to create um as a uh |
|
| 31:17 | a product. All right. So it says something, for example, |
|
| 31:22 | you'll get uh errors like, this is not a safe site. |
|
| 31:25 | , it is. It's, it's safe site because it's being run |
|
| 31:30 | the university. All right, they software that sometimes need to be |
|
| 31:35 | You can just kind of ignore that say allow and you can go to |
|
| 31:39 | site. So that is the link it. It's all here on this |
|
| 31:44 | page now, just so that you a sense of what's going on. |
|
| 31:50 | can see here, this is basically a little over a week. So |
|
| 31:54 | can see here we go, go all the way through to another |
|
| 31:58 | and then here's a Tuesday. So an eight day and what, what |
|
| 32:01 | is trying to show you, what this look like for you as a |
|
| 32:04 | ? And so remember what I said before class, what you're gonna do |
|
| 32:07 | you're gonna read and you come to and you listen to the lecture and |
|
| 32:12 | right after class, the new reading opens up. So does the Connect |
|
| 32:18 | and so does the uh top hat open ended questions. All right. |
|
| 32:24 | I call it a lecture review. think of it as the review. |
|
| 32:27 | think of it as the top All right. That's the top hat |
|
| 32:31 | lecture questions. All right. And , these you can see they're open |
|
| 32:36 | the exam night, the night before exam. All right. Whereas everything |
|
| 32:41 | has a kind of a finite And so if this was Thursday, |
|
| 32:45 | next Thursday, right now you're going be reading starting today until right before |
|
| 32:50 | , the uh class on Thursday, what will happen is right after |
|
| 32:55 | the connect homework opens up that top review. Uh not the, the |
|
| 33:01 | free review, but the the post questions are gonna open up and those |
|
| 33:06 | remain open. And then you can over the weekend you have a longer |
|
| 33:11 | of time to read before the next . This is very, very |
|
| 33:15 | So it's a pattern that is repeatable and over, read lecture homework, |
|
| 33:20 | lecture homework. And you just do over and over and over again until |
|
| 33:23 | exam and we'll talk about how to for the exam later. Finally, |
|
| 33:29 | do do extra credit in this Um The way that the extra credit |
|
| 33:34 | is there is one that is open the exam and then there's one that's |
|
| 33:38 | up after the exam and you can the time. So the one that |
|
| 33:41 | up before the exam opens up at p.m. right before the exam and then |
|
| 33:46 | closes right before the exams open up the day. So there is no |
|
| 33:51 | if you forget, you know, , oh, I took my |
|
| 33:54 | It's 10 o'clock. I can go my credit. No, the the |
|
| 33:56 | of these assignments, everything has a . All right, is not just |
|
| 34:00 | give you free points. The purpose is to ask yourself, are you |
|
| 34:03 | for the exam? So these are easy extra credits. It's like two |
|
| 34:07 | of your time. It says, , did you study, how do |
|
| 34:10 | feel about the way you ST do feel comfortable with this particular material. |
|
| 34:13 | all it does. All right. then after the exam, about a |
|
| 34:17 | after the exam, after I know taking the exam, this is when |
|
| 34:20 | get the second assignment to open All right. And here it asks |
|
| 34:24 | , hey, you've now looked at exam, you have your score for |
|
| 34:29 | . You know how you thought you on the exam? Now, how |
|
| 34:34 | you think you're studying did relative to actual performance? And so what it's |
|
| 34:39 | to do is trying to get you think about how you performed. All |
|
| 34:43 | . And if you did well, you're like, hey, everything worked |
|
| 34:46 | . But if you didn't do then you can ask, ok, |
|
| 34:48 | I didn't do well, where didn't do well? And why didn't I |
|
| 34:51 | well, how do I change what been doing so that I can get |
|
| 34:55 | grade that I'm seeking? All And so the way that you do |
|
| 34:59 | extra credits. So it's just, , it's just a full survey. |
|
| 35:02 | right, there's a link on canvas says, hey, you can go |
|
| 35:05 | do these. But um, but you have to first, you have |
|
| 35:09 | log in through your Cougar Net. usually students who have a part time |
|
| 35:14 | , it's like I can't log I can't get it. It's because |
|
| 35:16 | not logging into your Cougar Net All right. So that's number |
|
| 35:19 | And then number two is um they open or they have very finite periods |
|
| 35:25 | time when you can do them. I would put in your calendar on |
|
| 35:29 | phone when these things do and get alert to pop up to say, |
|
| 35:33 | , have you done your extra credit ? That way you can get your |
|
| 35:36 | . All right, I do not extensions for extra credit. So if |
|
| 35:40 | miss it, you miss it the . Finally, this is kind of |
|
| 35:47 | easy thing just to remind you how grade is calculated. Uh We have |
|
| 35:52 | top hat assignment. So remember there's pre lecture reading, there's a post |
|
| 35:57 | , uh open ended review of the the material. I try to stay |
|
| 36:01 | from that review name just because of confusion. So it's the top hat |
|
| 36:06 | questions. All right, this is of your grade. And so the |
|
| 36:10 | that you can calculate this um is numbers will be racking up. And |
|
| 36:15 | how many points did I earn versus many points that were available? And |
|
| 36:19 | you can just do that percentile score then multiply by 0.1 that's 10% of |
|
| 36:25 | grade. All right. Secondly, you have the connect homework room where |
|
| 36:29 | are um opened up right after There's gonna be 25 assignments in |
|
| 36:34 | If you include that orientation that I that opens up or is available to |
|
| 36:39 | right now based on what we talked here and again, you just take |
|
| 36:43 | averages and then multiply by 0.1 that's . Finally, we have four |
|
| 36:48 | those four exams just take the that's 80% of your grade. |
|
| 36:53 | So you take, let's say you an average of 70 for the |
|
| 36:57 | It's 70 times 0.8 that to give 56 points plus the points that you |
|
| 37:03 | here, plus the points you have . That's your grade. This is |
|
| 37:06 | of what it looks like. If want to kind of put it all |
|
| 37:09 | there, you take your average of exams. If you want to add |
|
| 37:11 | your extra, your extra credit, can remember each extra credit is 2.5 |
|
| 37:16 | . So there's a total of five per test. So you can |
|
| 37:20 | hey, I've taken one test. can get, I can get all |
|
| 37:23 | extra credit. I got five points so you can do that average multiply |
|
| 37:27 | 0.8. What did you do for half? Multiplied by 0.1? What |
|
| 37:30 | I do for connect? Multiplied by canvas should calculate that for you, |
|
| 37:35 | it's not always going to do it in a rolling fashion. So you |
|
| 37:41 | to kind of be aware. Now are gonna see scores and they're gonna |
|
| 37:46 | . I'm just gonna tell you All right, you're in a science |
|
| 37:49 | now. Throw out what you're used thinking in terms of scores, 90 |
|
| 37:53 | necessarily mean an eight. So I here, is there a curve for |
|
| 37:57 | class? We usually have a All right. My normal F range |
|
| 38:02 | , where it's like if you get this, it's failing, it's 50 |
|
| 38:06 | always, always, always 50 So the range for ABC and D |
|
| 38:13 | going to be slightly different based upon course performance. In other words, |
|
| 38:18 | everyone in the class does. we see, we see a |
|
| 38:22 | I've, I think in the um years that I've been here, um |
|
| 38:28 | we've, we've never not had a , so there's always been one, |
|
| 38:33 | I wanna just make sure, if you guys do really well, |
|
| 38:36 | not gonna be a curve, everyone's A's I, I'm not going to |
|
| 38:40 | so that we get a SB C's D's, I'm gonna give everybody A's |
|
| 38:43 | everybody earns A's. All right. , what this means is that my |
|
| 38:48 | are based on statistical norm. So we do is we're actually figuring out |
|
| 38:53 | bell curve, right? And so F is over here and it's 50% |
|
| 39:00 | means that, that ac may not be between a 70 a and an |
|
| 39:06 | it may be a lot lower. so you have to adjust in your |
|
| 39:10 | , what your numbers actually mean. right. The second thing I'd add |
|
| 39:15 | is that extra credit. So I give you grades and scores with extra |
|
| 39:21 | in it until the end of the . It's a waste of time to |
|
| 39:24 | so. All right, I, I figure out what everyone's grade is |
|
| 39:29 | on a curve, then I add the extra credit. And so if |
|
| 39:33 | grade was here without the extra what's gonna happen is, is after |
|
| 39:37 | extra credit, your grade is And so you actually get the real |
|
| 39:42 | from the extra credit. That's why do that. All right. So |
|
| 39:47 | there gonna be a curve? We know yet, but there probably will |
|
| 39:50 | one. All right. How do figure out the curve? I don't |
|
| 39:53 | add points. I'm using a normal . It's just a statistical way of |
|
| 39:59 | out what grades actually mean. And will tell you that after every exam |
|
| 40:04 | the distribution looks like. And then about the extra credit? I add |
|
| 40:08 | at the end of the semester. you want to calculate your grades with |
|
| 40:11 | extra credit, you can. But me, it's a waste of time |
|
| 40:14 | do. So. So I'm not do that. I think that covers |
|
| 40:17 | but let me just click the Yep. No, that's everything. |
|
| 40:20 | just going back. Um If you any questions, you can uh you |
|
| 40:25 | email me, but really probably the thing is it's probably questions that everybody |
|
| 40:30 | the answer to. So on Thursday give a little bit of time to |
|
| 40:34 | able to answer some questions about But this should be pretty straightforward. |
|
| 40:41 | go and answer the assessment questions, orientation. Um And it will see |
|
| 40:46 | or not you picked up everything. You will see on, on uh |
|
| 40:52 | link on the recorded lectures. Uh link to this video. I'm gonna |
|
| 40:57 | the announcement to where to go for . And there'll be a link for |
|
| 41:02 | video that talks about how to study the class, which follows this |
|
| 41:06 | So I would encourage you to go watch that video as well if you |
|
| 41:10 | to do well on the course. I will see the rest all of |
|
| 41:14 | . Hopefully on Thursday |
|
