Please Note

These ratings serve as scientific data on what it's like to acquire Internet literacy skills in a learning setting such as this course. You are the learners, therefore you are the only ones who could generate this type of accurate data. Though it's required for you to complete this assignment, the grades are not given for your ratings, but only that you completed them according to these instructions. Feel free to be as accurate as possible--whatever you experienced, that's the right number to pick, plus or minus!

Please answer all 8 questions. Type your answer after each question, on the same line, following the arrow ==>

1) Your course number (409a, or 409b, or 459) ==>

2) Your First name then your Last name ==>

3) Date you did this part ==>

4) Part number you just completed (1 through 11) ==>

5) Amount of time this part took all together (hours/minutes) ==>

Explain why or how come:

6) Choose a percentage to indicate your overall success rating for this Part, from 100% (=you were fully successful in all its sub-parts) all the way to 0% (=you were not successful in any of its sub-parts) ==> %

7) Now please try to report your overall feelings during this session using the five scales on the right. For each scale, first pick a number from -3 to +3 (please use the + sign and the - sign). Second, add a statement that explains why you feel that way. -3 = extremely negative
-2 = very negative
-1 = slightly negative
0 = neither negative nor positive
+1 = slightly positive
+2 = very positive
+3 = extremely positive

Note of Caution: Try composing an explanation that is informative: what accounts for your rating? What happened and what experience have you had to explain the number you picked? Please take time to provide enough information. You might need to consult your notes, mental or written!! Some students answer this so quickly that there is no information, and the instructor has to send it back to them for redoing. Best to do it right the first time!!
