2. Complete the EverFi modules by the dates listed below.
a. Each module will take between 30-45 minutes, depending on that pace you work at.
b. Complete the quizzes at the end of each module and do your best.
i. If you get a 70% or above on the quiz – MOVE ON! The website will automatically let you retake the
quiz, but I will not count it for credit.
ii. If you get below a 70%, the module will review you on the important facts and then give you
another chance to take the quiz. You can retake the quizzes as many times as you want, but I will
only count your first retake, at my discretion.
c. We will have very little time in the computer lab to work on this in class, so you should plan to complete
these modules mostly outside of class with your login. The website will let you complete the modules in any
order, but please be aware of the due dates below!

This project has been given with generous due dates so that you can complete modules when you have time in
your busy schedule. If you complete the whole thing early, that’s totally fine with me! Email me your review
and be done with it! If you plan to complete it in steps, please be conscious of deadlines so you can earn full
credit for all parts of this project grade.
EverFi will give a timestamp of when things were done, so be aware that I’ll know when you did each part of this
assignment. If you do not complete elements of this project on time, you can receive up to 50% credit at your
teacher’s discretion.
There is an EverFi game that you can play if you like, but you will not receive a grade for doing so. Please don’t
get distracted by it and not complete assignments on time!
Once you have completed the learning modules, EverFi will allow me to print you a certificate showing that you
have completed this course. There are competitive scholarships available for students who have EverFi
certification – check them out and apply! Free money is awesome!
Bring a pair of headphones when we are in the computer lab to work! There are narrators and sounds and
things that you’ll want to hear, and you don’t want to distract your classmates.  Please do not plan to share
headphones with a partner for this experience. It is meant to be an individualized learning experience, and the
website will tailor its delivery of information based on your answers to questions.
