Discussions can take place day or night and there's no need for everyone to be logged in at the same time. Rather, these discussions take place asynchronously - or, independently of each other.

Discussion forums typically have rules and guidelines for the types of things you can post and the types of vocabulary you use. Please be sure to check your syllabus or check in with your instructor to ensure you are following the class discussion guidelines

ANGEL as the ability to deliver most of the same kinds of tests that you have in face-to-face courses. Each test has directions and a series of questions that you answer. The questions can be true/false, multiple choice, short answer or essay. When you complete the test, it is immediately graded (except for essay & short answer questions) and you can see your score.

There are special features that an instructor may decide to use on a course test. For instance, the questions you see might be randomly picked from a pool of questions, so you and other student might have slightly different tests. Or the test may be timed, so that you have to complete it within, say 60 minutes. Your instructors will provide you with all the directions you will need to take the exam.

1. Find the exam or quiz you need to complete (Lessons Tab) and click on the name of it.
2. Read the instructions and when you are ready, click on the Begin Now button.
3. Begin taking your Quiz and click SAVE when finished.

Assessment Tips and Tricks

1. Mozilla Firefox works best. To download this browser, go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html
2. Do NOT use a laptop with a wireless connection. Wireless connections are like cell phones. Sometimes they can drop your signal. If that happens, you may lose your connection to ANGEL. If this occurs, you will not be able to turn in your exam.

 If you only have a wireless connection, you may use a computer in the EvCC Library or computer labs. In addition, you may use a computer at a public library.
