If you do not do this, you must assign a grade of “F” on the grade roster in accordance with University policy. http://www.uaa.alaska.edu/records/index.cfm http://www.uaa.alaska.edu/records/faculty_resources/index.cfm

UAA Faculty Resources Center for Advancing Faculty Excellence http://www.uaa.alaska.edu/cafe/ Digital Pipeline This brochure describes the “Digital Pipeline” project. It is a project that purchases access to databases (for Alaska residents) and it is funded by the Alaska State Legislature and maintained by Alaska libraries. This project includes many databases providing full text articles in journals and magazines and products like the “Testing & Education Reference Center,” which your students can use to take practice tests and use e-book study guides for many tests (including SAT, ACT, and many others besides the Praxis). Here is the link to that handout: http://consortiumlibrary.org/hsis/researchaids/handouts/DigitalPipeline_hsis_May08_nopw.pdf Because it is a subscription (purchased) database, only Alaska residents can access it.
