High School Subscriptions Annual, analagous to a site license

UT Austin’s Quest Learning & Assessment tool is used by hundreds of educational institutions around the country. In an effort to recapture the costs associated with supporting the system, we charge a nominal fee to high schools with no charge to high school students . Below is a summary of the current annual high school subscription fees:

  • Texas-based high schools: $150/year
  • High school outside of Texas: $300/year

For high school institutions, this fee is the same regardless of the number of classes or students in your institution using Quest. If your institution is new to Quest, we offer a 120 day free trial to evaluate Quest before payment of the institutional subscription becomes necessary. You can check your institution's subscription status on your My Profile page. If your institution is brand new to Quest, please email us at [email protected] to obtain an institution code from us.

After you have confirmed your institution code, you can place your subscription or renew an existing subscription online, via UT’s secure purchasing portal . Each subscription lasts one year. For more information about purchasing a subscription go here .

College/University Courses Per course, textbook-like resource

The cost for university and college students is $25/course per semester/quarter. Student will only be required to pay for 2 courses per semester (or quarter), regardless of their total number of courses using Quest.

If you wish to add something to your syllabus to notify your students that Quest will be utilized in your course, feel free to use the following paragraph and adapt it to meet your needs:

How to Get More Efficient at Homework

Homework is important for a lot of reasons – on the one hand, it helps you build up your work ethic and get better at the things you’re studying. And on the other, it shows your professors how well you’ve understood the things covered in your classes. However, all of that doesn’t change the fact that homework can be overwhelming – especially when you’ve got a lot of it. 

Fortunately, there are ways to make homework easier – like getting online homework help . And apart from that, you can organize yourself in ways that make homework less difficult. And we’re here with a couple of tips on doing precisely that! 

Start With A Homework Plan – And On Time

If you want to be efficient with your homework, your #1 priority is understanding the assignment before you start. There’s nothing worse than being halfway through your homework and realizing you’ve got it all wrong and have to start over.

So, when your homework is assigned to you, write it down immediately in a planner or notebook. And if you’ve got any questions or things you’re unsure of when it comes to the assignment, make sure to ask straight away. 

Armed with that information, you can make a realistic estimate of the time it’ll take to complete that specific homework assignment. And that estimate is going to be essential to your success, particularly when you’ve got a lot of overlapping activities and homework assignments. It’ll allow you to budget your time properly. 

And speaking of time – the best time to start is right away. The fact that it isn’t due this week doesn’t change the fact that you’ll be better off finishing it early. Remember, this isn’t the only thing you have to do – you’ve got plenty of other schoolwork to do.

Find A Great Spot For Work

One of the greatest enemies of efficient homework completion is procrastination . And the main reason we procrastinate is a lack of focus – most people have short attention spans nowadays, and we’re bombarded with all sorts of content from every imaginable platform. 

So, if you’re going to study and do your homework efficiently, you will need a place that separates you from all the distractions . Forget about sitting in front of the television with your family or the kitchen filled with other family members who are eating, cooking, or cleaning.

That was a good spot when you were just a kid, and your homework was easier to do – it didn’t require nearly as much focus. However, these days, you’re going to need a study room. This will most likely be your bedroom or another quiet place that doesn’t lend itself to major distractions.

Also, while we’re on the subject of the bedroom as a study place – avoid the most common student pitfall, which is studying and doing homework on the bed. Sure, you need a certain level of comfort; but you can’t be so comfortable and warm you’ll fall asleep, especially when you’re working on something that doesn’t interest you at all. 

Instead, you’ll need a table or desk – with a comfy but ergonomic chair. And if you want to succeed in efficient studying, your phone is going to be a major issue – you can’t have it anywhere near you while you’re studying. Even if you put it on silent and don’t hear any notifications, you’re bound to take a look at it once in a while. And before you know it, entire hours will have gone by and you haven’t done any work. 

Organize Your Assignments

So, it’s time to get to work. But the question is – where do you start? 

Of course, starting with the easiest stuff will seem intuitively correct. After all, you want to ease yourself into the work before you tackle the really difficult stuff, right?

Actually, that’s far from the truth. Instead, you must first deal with the hardest parts of your homework. Remember, you’ll never have more energy during your homework session than in the beginning. That’s when you’ll be capable of summoning the most focus – and you want to use it on the stuff that matters the most. On the other hand, the simpler things won’t be as hard to solve, even when you’re tired.

Also, if you’re pressed for time and you get stuck on a problem – the last thing you should do is obsess over it all night. Sure, try to solve it to the best of your abilities; but never lose sight of the big picture. The overall goal is to complete most of your homework. You can do it later if you have time to come back to specific problems. Finally, if you want to avoid procrastination, take regular, tightly-scheduled breaks.

Homework 1. Models_instructions              Models_pdf_template Homework 2. Data_instructions                 Data_pdf_template   Homework 3. Correlations_instructions      Correlations_pdf_template Homework 4. Experiments_instructions      Experiments_pdf_template

The class web site provides examples of good and bad homeworks.   Note that those examples use the old templates.   They are informative for the new templates, but do not attempt to use those old templates for your assignments.

Table of contents

Homework Guidelines

Format (applies to all homeworks).

1. All homework assignments now use a web interface with fields for you to fill in. When done filling in the blanks, you generate a pdf. The filled pdf must be uploaded to this class (Bio301D) in your Blackboard account -- LOOK for the virtual class number instead of the unique number for which you are registered. MAKE SURE before you upload that the saved file has retained your edits, including the last one. Also, don't send homeworks by email unless you have been specifically notified that they are allowed (which is almost never).

The deadlines for each homework are posted in the syllabus and are advertised on the class web page typically within a week of the due date; you can assume that you have until 5:00 PM the day of deadline to upload; ask first to see if it is later. In many years, we have allowed late homeworks to be uploaded for 48hr past the advertised deadline (with a small penalty). Inquire about late submissions before assuming they are allowed.

2. The article should be less than 9 months old. You will need to upload it in some form with your pdf (scan, electronic version, etc.).

3. Some assignments require you to quote from the article. The form will contain a field in which you paste the quote.

4. Your text fill-ins should be no longer than necessary. Be succinct. Excessive verbosity will reduce the credit you receive.   Do not add unnecessary wording, especially when quoting from the article. For example, if the question asks for a quote describing a correlation, the quote

"babies sleeping on their stomachs learn to crawl earlier"

is preferred over the longer quote

"A recent study of 1200 babies showed that babies sleeping on their stomach learn to crawl earlier"

because the latter quote contains information not relevant to the question.

Failure to follow any of the above format guidelines may result in points being deducted.

Choosing an Article

1. Informative articles will receive the most points (all else equal). The selected article should contain sufficient depth. Ideally, the article should contain enough information so that the information requested by the template is specifically mentioned. Do not use really short articles. Tiny newspaper blurbs will not contain enough information to satisfactorily complete an assignment.

A common mistake is to use an article that talks about the consequence of a study but does not go into detail about the study itself. Such articles are difficult to fit into the class formats, because they are too removed from the actual studies.

2. Good sources for articles include the following, although at this stage we don’t know which of these sources provide electronic articles:

New York Times (click on the SCIENCE section)

The Wall Street Journal

The Austin Chronicle

Pubmed (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/)

Newscientist.com

3. Because they often contain brief and incomplete articles, the following are discouraged:

The Austin American-Statesman

Dallas Morning News

The Daily Texan
