DEADLINES FOR
Homework Assignments and Quizzes
On MyEconLab over chapters from
Economics Today: The Macro View by Roger LeRoy Miller

Note: Though the points you earn for doing these MyEconLab Homework Assignments and Quizzes will not figure DIRECTLY into your grade for the course, they will figure into your grade INDIRECTLY. The reason for this is that you cannot take the UNIT EXAMS or the Final Exam without working through these MyEconLab assignments. You must make at least a 65% on each assignment before you can move on to the next assignment and eventually onto the UNIT EXAMS. For a listing of the Prerequisites for all the MyEconLab assignments and Blackboard exams see HERE.

Each Chapter Homework Assignment is worth up to 20 points. You will have to make a 65% (13 of 20 points) or better on each to be able to move on the the associated Chapter Quiz. Each Chapter Quiz is worth up to 40 points. You will have to make 65% (26 of 40 points) or better on these Quizzes to move on to the next Chapter Homework Assignment or to the UNIT EXAM. The points you earn on homework assignments on MyEconLab will be exactly the points recorded for Homework Assignments on the course's ACC Blackboard gradebook site. The same is true for the points earned on MyEconLab Quizzes. The Chapter Homework Assignments and Quizzes can be submitted after their due dates but doing so will preclude you from earning extra credit points for completing the UNITS and UNIT Exams by their extra credit due dates. This extra credit is often the difference between letter grades for many students.

You should be aware that it may take up to two hours for the MyEconLab Homework and Quiz scores to update on the Blackboard gradebook. This is important because the UNIT Exams will not appear in the UNIT folder until Blackboard can ascertain whether a 65% or better was made on the last chapter quiz in each UNIT.

Extra Credit Assignment Exams on Blackboard cover chapters from
Miller's Economics Today: The Macro View

You must make at least a 65% or better on these exams to earn any extra credit points on the tests.
If a you make 65% or better on an Extra Credit Assignment Exam, I will take the percentage correct you made on such the exam and multiply that percentage times 50 points.
For example, if a you made an 80% on the Extra Credit Assignment 1 Exam, I would record 40 extra credit points for that score (0.80*50=40).
However, if a you make a 64% on the Extra Credit Assignment 1 Exam, then I would record no extra credit for that score.
Like all the assignments in the course, the MyEconLab Assignments are prerequisites for taking the Extra Credit Assignment Exams.
Since many you may be taking these exams on the last day of the semester, July 1, you should be aware that it may take up to two hours for the MyEconLab Quiz scores to update on the Blackboard gradebook. This is important because the Extra Credit Assignment Exams will not open until Blackboard can ascertain whether a 65% or better was made on Chapter 18 and Chapter 32 MyEconLab Quizzes.
