1. How do I do the
partial credit option ?
First you need to get your CAPA ID e-mailed to you
using the "Lost your CAPA ?" option on the CAPA top
page.
Select class: xpc183-002
Select set number that corresponds to exam number (exam 1 - set 1, etc)
2. Do I have
to do all the problems again ?
Each problem you
get right on the partial credit will count towards your partial credit
score, regardless of which problems you got right or wrong in the
exam. So try to do all the problems!
3.
How is the partial credit determined ?
Your partial credit will be determined by taking 30% of the difference between
your total partial credit score and your total exam score. These
points will be added to your exam score at the end of the class. Of
course your exam score will never be lowered, even if your partial credit score
is less than the exam score.
4.
Why doesn't my partial credit show up on my exam score ?
The partial credit will be added to your exam score at the end of the
class. It does, however, show up in the grade extrapolation applet.
5. I had 100% in
the exam. Should I do the partial credit option ?
If you had 100% on the exam there is no point in doing the partial credit
(except if you think the additional exercise will help you).
6.
How can I check my partial credit score ?
Same as checking your homework score ("term summary") but
you have to choose the class xpc183-002 when logging onto CAPA.
7.
Where can I get the instructions to access the Partial Credit option?
