Library Support for College Writing and Freshman Honors Colloquium: Tutorials & Quiz Instructions

University Libraries offers Library Tutorials geared toward the first year writing programs. See the tutorials here: http://libguides.library.kent.edu/tutorials

Six 10-question quizzes are available to accompany these tutorials.  Here is some basic information about the quizzes:

• The quizzes live in your Canvas course sections. 
• Instructions for placing them in your course can be found below. 
• They are based on question banks that randomly call up ten questions for each quiz. 
• They are meant to be low-stakes assessments that signify that students have achieved an introductory understanding of the content. 
• Student scores will report to your grade book 
• We recommend score of 8 or above for passing credit for each quiz.
• Students are able to retake the quiz to improve their score

See the Program page of this guide for course recommendations.
