Bonus: Potential  15  points   Exam Discussion Discuss the concept of wergild in Beowulf’s warrior-class culture. Beowulf contains much violence; glory in war and honorable death in battle are important themes. However, wergild does not glorify violence and death. What is gained? How does this more peaceable aspect of Beowulf’s culture begin to lay the foundation for a more cooperative (working together) contemporary view of culture? Use specific examples from the text and contemporary culture to support your ideas.  

At the end of the assessment, you will be asked to upload any handwritten work showing your solutions for the problem solving questions.  The handwritten work needs to have the question number clearly marked and the final solution identified (drawing a circle around it works best).  Make sure you have identified the final solution, rounded to 3 significant figures, and appropriate units.  For vector quantities, you will need to describe magnitude and direction in an appropriate format.  The circled solution needs to match the typed solution in the EAGLE Quiz.  You are not permitted to continue working on your handwritten solutions after submitting the quiz.  A separate assignment will be provided.  See Tips for Submitting Work in the Resources module about how to upload your handwritten work.  If you cannot submit your handwritten work for any reason, please email the file to me, so I may upload it for you. Do you feel comfortable with using this feature to upload your work?

Before the assessment, be sure to review the academic integrity expectations in the Syllabus and in the RVC Student Handbook starting on p. 49.  During the assessment, you will be expected to agree to uphold the expectations of academic integrity by affirming the following statement: In this online assessment, you can use your equation sheet with hints, scientific calculator, and scratch paper only. It is intended to assess individual knowledge and carries the full weight of the Academic Honesty statement described in the Syllabus and further explained in the RVC Student Handbook.  You are not to discuss or share this assessment or your solutions with anyone.  Evidence of academic misconduct will be taken seriously.  Consequences can result in an “F” for this assessment, an “F” for the unit, or an “F” in the course.  Instances of academic misconduct will also be referred to the Dean of Students office in accordance with the student handbook.   You are not permitted to use online resources like chegg.com that encourage students to submit questions for someone else to provide the solutions.  Similarly, you are not permitted to use any AI chatbots (like ChatGPT).  This is absolutely cheating and will not be tolerated.  YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO USE ANYONE TO HELP YOU WITH THIS ASSESSMENT.  IT IS TO BE YOUR WORK AND NO ONE ELSES. In the space below, please attest that you have completed this assessment as described above by typing your name.  Assessments that do not have this affirmation will not be graded. Do you agree to uphold RVC’s academic integrity expectations?

Honorlock requires a small file to be downloaded before the assessment, but it does not collect personal information or data from you except for what is needed to proctor the assessment.  The software is compliant with FERPA, which is a federal law protecting student privacy. Students have two options for taking the assessment: Option 1:  Use a personal computer. Option 2:  Use an RVC computer, preferably in the ERC.  This option requires you to plan your assessment during normal business hours. Which option do you plan to use for the assessments in this course? NOTE:  EAGLE will mark any answer you submit as “incorrect” because there is no way to program it to understand your preference.  Scoring will be updated manually as I review the submissions.
