OWL System

OWL system

The OWL System is an online chemistry homework program that quizzes students. Some teachers use this system to assign problems which the student is able to try to earn completion for (in the form of a checks) until the deadline (example below). Teachers use this for points for their gradebook as well as to help students learn material outside of class. OWLs are notorious for pissing students off because of the ridiculous amount of detail required in giving answers to the system, and the high threshold for passing a section (if there are 12 parts to a question, every part must be correct in order to pass the question). Though they are awful, you should do them: Dr. Toomey has shown graphs which show a definite correlation between test scores and number of OWLs completed.
