Assignments for the Week-Outcomes

  2. Go to the Testwell site by clicking on the link below. Enter your student i.d. number, when asked for a pin number, respond to all the questions, and click "finish" when you're finished and view your results.  You may want to print them for a record that you completed the assignment.    We will receive a notice that you've completed Testwell and post your points within two weeks of the closing period.  Complete Testwell for full points by NOON. on Monday, February 20, 2012.  This assignment will only be available for completion (it is considered late and worth half the points after February 20) until February 27, 2011.  After this date you cannot complete this assignment for any points.  Keep a record (printout) of the results page (last page) in case of technology glitch to ensure proper credit. We will receive a list of all student i.d. numbers who have completed the survey after the closing date and you will receive points at that time.
