Confused about how to take a Knowledge Survey?

First, do exactly what it says on the 3rd page of the syllabus, including doing exactly what it says to do on the registration site.

Once you are all set up with the registration process, you should have a username and a password that lets you into the Knowledge Survey site.

At the knowledge survey site, you will see three pull-down menus:

step 1......Take or View a Knowledge Survey
step 2....VALIDATION EXERCISE--Complete Detailed Answers for a Knowledge Survey You Took (
step 3....View Knowledge Survey Results
 
Select the relevant survey from the pull-down menus. You must complete step 1. Step 2 is not being included this semester. Conducting step 3 is up to you.
 
When you get to the actual survey of step 1, be sure to first read the Instructions that appear at the top of that page.
 
As it says on the 3rd page of the syllabus:
 
..you will take Round 1 of the knowledge surveys, spaced throughout the semester, by going to:

http://www.ks.und.edu

Note that each knowledge survey will have a narrow time window for completion. Once the deadline for taking a given survey has passed, that survey can no longer be taken. The times and deadlines for surveys will be announced in class, and posted on the course homepage.
 
Round two of each survey, for the "after" look, will be given near the end of the semester.
