New to ANGEL and PSU world campus

I am just starting world campus this May for the summer semester and am feeling a bit overwhelmed with the ANGEL site. I am registered for classes but nothing is showing on my ANGEL page...is this normal? If there are any tips or advise anyone could give me I would truly appreciate it.

Extra Credit in Assessments for Answering More than a Minimum Number Correctly

A faculty wants me to create a quiz with 17 questions. If the students get any 15 correct, then they receive 100%. Any correct answers above and beyond those 10 will be extra credit points. How do I do this in ANGEL without manual grading? We would also like to preserve the ability to randomize the questions.

Learning opportunities to help faculty, students, and staff prepare for semester

Penn State faculty, students, and staff can take advantage of a variety of learning opportunities to be offered from January 3-6, in preparation for the spring 2012 semester. Topics include ANGEL, accessibility, Access, Excel, Penn State's new calendar and e-mail system (University Collaboration Suite), and more. Many sessions will be offered online through Meeting@PennState (powered by Adobe Connect) for those who are unable to attend in person. View details here or visit http://its.psu.edu/training/ anytime to explore all technology learning opportunities.

Slight change when manually adding a course member

I was informed by ANGEL support today that when you are manually adding a course member and using the Account Search field, while formerly, you could search either for a user ID or the name, now you can only search for the user ID. I updated the Add a Course Member Knowledge Base article to reflect the change.

New User Here - When do Courses Appear?

I'm glad to have stumbled upon this hub of communication. As a new graduate student, I'm unfamiliar with the ANGEL system as it wasn't around when I was an undergrad at PSU in the 90s. I'm set to begin classes next month (Systems Engineering Program) and don't see either of the two courses I'm taking listed for the fall semester (I do see other years/semesters). Will some folks please provides some feedback on when one expects to find their courses relative to the start of classes?

Thank you!

And I'm not seeing my groups. I just get the error that you can see in my subject field.
