Participation points are given for weeks 5, 7-11, not for weeks 1-4

Question

The question presents a true/false statement and two answer choices. We should examine what each option is asserting and assess whether that claim could be correct given typical course policies.
Option 1: True. The statement says, "Participation points are given for weeks 5, 7-11, not for weeks 1-4." Interpreting this literally, it claims two things: (a) points are awarded in weeks 5 and weeks 7 through 11, (b) no points are awarded in weeks 1 through 4. To assess truth, one would need the course policy or rubric. If the syllabus indeed only assigns participation points during weeks 5 and 7–11 and explicitly omits weeks 1–4 (and does not grant points in week 6 or outside 5–11), then this would be a true statement under that policy. However, because the phrase "weeks 7-11" skips week 6, there is a potential ambiguity: the policy might still award points in week 6 or in weeks outside 5–11. In many real-world syllabi, policies often specify exact weeks with points, and any omission (like week 6) needs clarification. Therefore, the truth of this option hinges on precise policy wording; without that, the claim is potentially incomplete or misleading.
Option 2: False. If the course policy actually provides participation points in week 6 as well, or if it awards points in any weeks outside 5 and 7–11 (for example weeks 1–4 or 12+), then the statement would be incorrect. This option targets the idea that the stated week range is comprehensive or exclusive; since the sentence leaves week 6 unmentioned, a policy that includes week 6 would make the claim false. Additionally, even if weeks 5 and 7–11 are the only weeks with points, the wording "not for weeks 1-4" does not preclude points in weeks beyond 11, which some curricula might have.
In sum, option 1 hinges on accepting the policy as exactly described and excluding all other weeks from earning points. If the actual policy aligns with that description (including an explicit exclusion of weeks 1–4 and possibly excluding week 6 from earning points), it would be true. If any week outside 5 and 7–11 (such as week 6 or weeks beyond 11) also yields points, the statement would be false.
Key potential misconceptions to watch for:
- Assuming week 6 is included just because it’s not listed in the 5, 7–11 range. Absence in the range does not equal exclusion unless policy states so.
- Assuming that "not for weeks 1-4" automatically means no points anywhere else; many policies award points in other weeks as well, so be careful with overgeneralization.
- Treating the statement as a universal rule without verifying the exact syllabus language can lead to incorrect conclusions; always cross-check the official policy for exact week-by-week point timing.
