SUBMIT WORK EVERY WEEK
•
You are required to submit work every week.
•
Please submit 4-5 assignments per week.
•
All weekly work is due by Sunday night.
•
Failure to submit work weekly may result in your being
withdrawn from the course.
14 DAY DROP PERIOD
•
Use the first 2 weeks to determine if the class fits into your
schedule.
•
At the end of 14 days, you should have 8 assignments
completed. You may also choose to complete the course
in the first 2 weeks. You must be in the course 14 days to
take the final exam.
•
If the course is not working out, please let me know! There
is always the option to take the course at a later time. You
will use what you learn in this course the rest of your life, so
it is important to really learn every thing you can about
driving!
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
•
All written work MUST be in your own words. Copying and changing a
few words will still be flagged.
•
Assignments are checked against turnitin.com – Please don’t risk your
grade!
•
This is automatic, you just submit your work through the course.
•
You work is checked against every thing on the Internet and all
assignments ever turned in by other students.
Bottom Line: Please use your own work and use your own
words.

Consistent internet access is a requirement for the
course.

If you do not have internet at home, if your internet
goes down, or if your computer crashes, you are still

arrangements (library, friend or relative’s house, etc.) in
order to submit your weekly work.

on your own!
To attend a live session, go to the course home
page, scroll down to the calendar, and select a
day and time that works for you. Click on the
“click here” link approximately 15 minutes prior
to the start time. Log in with your first and last

lesson, use the ‘Click Here for Help’ link.
DISCUSSION BASED ASSESSMENT
(DBA)
We no longer do the module 3 DBA – so skip
that assignment. You will see an “ex” by the
assignment in the gradebook.
Schedule your module 8 DBA once you have
completed all assignments (or all assignments
thru at least module 8). The scheduler is on your
course home page.
It’s not a big deal so don’t stress. Just call me,
answer a few questions, and I’ll do the rest!
There is a review on your course home page.
FINAL EXAM
Important Notes:
1.
There is a final exam review link on my course
home page.

The final exam is comprised of 70 multiple
choice and 4 essay questions, so allow plenty of
time. You have to get the password from me.

Once you submit your final exam, don’t freak
out about your grade! You will earn up to an
additional 30 points once I manually grade your
essay responses.
PERMIT TEST
While proceeding through the course, you will see a pop-up screen offering an
online permit test (which is the Road Rules and Road Signs Test).
PLEASE TAKE NOTE IF YOU NEED THIS TEST
The permit test is something you take IN ADDITION to the course final exam.
1.
The entire Driver’s Ed course, including the final exam, is free.
2.
There is a convenience fee of $25 to take the test online. This cost is in addition
to the permit fee that you will pay at the DMV (which is around $50).
3.
You must be at least 15 years old to take the permit test.
4.
If you would like to take the online permit test, please first complete the
Driver‘s Ed course so you will be better prepared to pass the permit test. I will
email you a link for the online permit test once you complete the Driver’s Ed
course.
