What is the difference between a REQUEST and a SUBMISSION?
Submission: when you select “submit your responses” at the end of a test, you should get a response like the one that follows along with feedback for the test you just completed.
You
received 7 out of a possible 7 points or 100%
There were 7 questions whose answers received full or partial credit.
If you get this response, then your score WILL BE recorded by UTS. This counts as a submission. The number of submissions is NOT limited for any of the Skill Check Tests, but there will be a strict limit of 3 submissions for the Unit Quizzes
Request: when you select “Exam” on the Chem 112 Test page (in Angel), this will count as a request even if you do not finish (submit) the test. Below is a list of actions that would cause you to use up a request even though you do not submit a test. Some of these actions can happen without you even noticing you have done it. For example, a dropped wireless connection or refreshing the browser during the quiz will use up requests even if you do not complete the quiz and submit it.
Examples of things that would use up a request:
- When you select Exam in Angel
- If you refresh your browser while taking a quiz
- If you X out your browser window while taking the quiz
- If you have a dropped wireless connection while taking the quiz
- If the quiz is timed out
- If you use the Forward or Back keys on your browser. (You may use the next and previous keys within the software to move back and forth in the test.)
- If you are impatient, you could submit the same quiz twice by clicking submit in succession when the computer response is slow. This will use up two requests and two submissions.
You are encouraged to request tests when you are ready to take and complete the exam in a single sitting. If you are having browser or computer problems, use the computers available in the PSU Student Labs until you are able to fix your computer. Since the request limit is very high relative to the number of submissions, you will not be given additional requests if you use all of them up.
