GEOG101 Extra Credit Exam
Part 1 of 1 - 88.0/ 100.0 Points
Question 1 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points
Course extensions are available for which of the following reasons?
A. I don't have a computer to access the classroom.
B. "too busy" with work and family commitments
C. documented military deployment
D. I’m on leave or vacation from my job.
Answer Key: C
Feedback: APUS Professors can provide course extensions for documented military deployment and military-related activities. Students are not eligible for course extensions for personal reasons such as being "too busy", going on vacation/leave or non-military work issues.
Having a computer is as essential as having pen and paper in a traditional classroom - each student is responsible for securing access to a computer throughout the course.
Courses start every month, so be sure you take classes that fit around your personal schedule. Equally, instructors are not permitted such extensions either!
Question 2 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points
The course professor is required to have student work graded
A. anytime before the end of the course.
B. within 7 days of the due date and time.
C. within 7 days of when the student turns in the assignment.
D. within 48 hours of when the student turns in the assignment.
Answer Key: B
Feedback: It is APUS/AMU policy that all instructors must grade completed student work submitted for grading within 7 days of the DUE DATE AND TIME for that assignment. If you do not see a grade after 7 days from the due date and time, check to be sure you have submitted the assignment for grading. If you have but the assginment is not graded, send a polite request to your instructor to complete grading.
Question 3 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points
All students are required to turn in assignments
A. at their own pace.
B. by Sunday nights at 11:59 PM.
C. according to the assigned due date and time for that particular assignment.
D. any time before the last day of class.
Answer Key: C
Feedback: Due dates and times may vary by assignment and class, so do not assume a Sunday night 11:59 PM due date in all classes. It's always a good idea to avoid procrastination, so try to budget time throughout the week to work on your courses.
Each student is responsible for meeting due dates and times, and late work may be rejected or subject to deductions as per APUS policies.
Question 4 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points
Instructors are required to reply to student emails within how many hours?
A. 24-48
B. 48-72
C. 12-24
D. 6-12
Answer Key: B
Feedback: It is University policy that instructors reply to student emails within 48 to 72 hours. If an instructor does not reply right away please await a response - your instructor is likely not online if you do not hear back immediately. Instructors, like students, also experience internet outages, have hospital emergencies and other unanticipated urgencies. If 72 hours (three full days) has passed, contact

or

for assistance. Always be polite - the last thing you want is to send your instructor an angry e-mail just to find out they have been in an accident or are otherwise in unfortunate circumstances.
Quick "geography" - there are 24 primary time zones (some variations by country) on Earth. So if each student in a class with 24 students emailed the instructor once a day at a different hour the instructor might not sleep during the 8-week course if they were to respond within 12 hours of each email! 48-72 allows for time zone changes and days off from work or short-term emergencies. Most instructors are on almost daily, or at least within 24-48 hours.
Remember that in a class even of a few people everyone may be in a different time zone, so our asynchronous work does result in a "lag" in communication. Also, not everyone is on every day, so students and instructors alike must be patient in looking for each other.
Question 5 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points
The five institutional learning objectives at APUS include all but which of the following?
A. the ability to express viewpoints other than their own and to think critically
B. ability to apply learned knowledge to the "real world"
C. communication in written form
D. proficiency with video and audio technology
Answer Key: D
Feedback: Please see the syllabus or Student Handbook for detail on the five institutional objectives. It's a good idea to keep these in mind as you go through each course to help frame what you are learning into a broader context.
Question 6 of 25 2.0/ 4.0 Points
“Geography" is a discipline that studies
A. spatial relationships
B. maps
C. people
D. locations
Answer Key: A, B, C, D
Feedback: There are many other topics as well! Geography is a broad discipline that is easily integrated into other fields of study, from health to military studies to disasters to religion and culture and everything in between!
Question 7 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points

A. plagiarism.
B. only acceptable for papers.
C. only acceptable for exams.
D. fine to do at any time.
Answer Key: A
Feedback: "Plagiarism" is often an unfamiliar term/concept for many students, but it is a serious academic offense whether deliberate or accidental. Please be sure to familiarize yourself with the plagiarism policy in the Student Handbook or in the video and links in the classroom. Ask your instructor if you have any questions or are in doubt.

Question 11 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points
Readings and assignments will never change once class starts.
A. false
B. true
Answer Key: A
Feedback: The syllabus is a guideline, but it is a fact of the Internet that sometimes weblinks for readings and work may become inactive and require a change. Also, courses with low enrollments may need to be altered to maintain course integrity (e.g. discussion boards and group projects may have to be adjusted to small enrollments). Your instructor should keep you up to date if changes are needed.
Question 12 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points
Forums are mandatory in this course.
A. false

Answer Key: B
Feedback: There is a great deal of research on the positive value of student interaction in the classroom - be sure to take advantage of these assignments!

A. false

Question 15 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points
If I'm not clear on a particular topic I can look for additional readings in the Online Library.
A. true
B. false
Answer Key: A
Feedback: The Online Library is an excellent source of information and has a collection that rivals large research universities! If you need help, ask your instructor or email an online librarian for assistance.
Question 16 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points
Since this isn't an English course, my grammar and spelling don't matter.
A. false
B. true
Answer Key: A
Feedback: Grammar and writing style are always important. In fact, all courses at APUS are required to have written assignments to reinforce skills of written communication. Please see the APUS institutional learning objective on "Communication". Be sure to follow writing advice provided in COLL100, English courses and through the Online Library's tutoring.
Question 17 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points
The "end-of-course" critique is an excellent location for students to make productive comments to help instructors improve courses.
A. false
B. true
Answer Key: B
Feedback: Be sure to be polite and specific - "great class" doesn't identify what is great about it and "lousy class" doesn't identify what is bad. The instructor won't know what to keep or change. Instead, try "I enjoyed using PowerPoint to communicate what I had learned", or "I didn't feel I had enough information to gain much from the Forum critical thinking assignments", for example.
Question 18 of 25 0.0/ 4.0 Points
The final exam is cumulative, covering all weeks' work in this course.
A. true

Feedback: There is so much information in this course that the mid-term covers the first half of the class and the final covers the second half. This will allow students to study each week equally.

A. true
B. false
Answer Key: A

Students can check their course grade progress in the online classroom.
A. true
B. false
Answer Key: A
Feedback: The grade represented in total is for items completed and graded to that moment, so be sure to know what items remain in the course. Ask questions if needed!
Question 21 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points
Sarcasm and other such dark humor translate well in the online classroom.
A. true
B. false
Answer Key: B
Feedback: Much human communication is conducted through facial expression, tone of voice and other visual and aural signals. These are lost in the online classroom if no audio or video is present, so PLEASE be careful that your humor is not misunderstood. Sarcasm is often lost in writing and interpreted as mean-spirited, so be sure to use "emoticons" or parenthetical words (kidding!, e.g.) if you feel your words may be misunderstood. Better safe than sorry!

A. true
B. false
Answer Key: A
Feedback: Let me know if you have questions. If they are general course material or course procedure questions, PLEASE post them in the appropriate "Q&A" section in "Forum" - if you have a question, chances are others in the class have the same question.
If your question is of a personal nature (grades, absences, other issues governed by FERPA, e.g.), send it to me via "Messages" in the classroom.
Question 24 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points
Use of Turnitin.com on Forums is optional in this course.
True
False

Feedback: All students are required to use Turnitin.com for every Forum post. This will help students avoid plagiarism and learn to create original compositions.
