 Activity 2: Navigating the LMS
1. In this subject, you will complete TWO Independent Learning Tasks (ILTs).
a. Provide the following dates related to completing these ILTs:
i. Suggested date for completing ILT 1:
ii. Suggested date for completing ILT 2:
iii. Last date (Final deadline) for completing both ILTs:
b. What percent of your final mark is contributed to by each ILT?
c. Is completion of each ILT necessary to pass the subject?
d. Is the content covered in each ILT examinable?

2. List three Student Support Services available to students through the LMS.
i.
ii.
iii.

3. Where would you go to borrow lab coats and safety glasses for a chemistry practical, arrange a
make-up practical class, or enquire about property lost in the chemistry building?

4. You have become sick/injured and cannot attend your practical class at your normal time.
a. Do you need a medical certificate to arrange a make-up practical?
b. If you miss a practical class without a medical certificate or exemption, what will you score for
that practical?
c. How many practicals must you complete to meet the hurdle requirement?

5. As part of your ongoing learning in the subject, you will complete Weekly Feedback Quizzes, or
WFQs, to provide you with feedback on your learning.
a. How many WFQs must you complete throughout the semester?
b. How many contribute to the final mark?
c. What percent does each WFQ contribute to your final mark?

6. Which module under Subject Information contains important information about what to do if you
cannot complete an assessment due to unavoidable or unforeseen circumstances outside of your
control?
