QUIZ DAY !!!!¶

Today is your First quiz! Remember that there will be a quiz every other week with a total of 5 quizzes all semester. Quizzes are not intended to be stressful. All of the quizzes together are worth only 10% of your grade and you get to drop your lowest score!

The quizzes are the best way to help students and instructors identify problems and areas where we need improvement.

A typical Quiz day will consist of the following agenda.

(30 minutes) Start next In-Class Assignment

1. Review Pre-class Assignment¶

When a question asks for an answer "in your own words" it is still okay to search the Internet for the answer as a reminder. However, we would like you to do more than cut and paste. Make the answer your own.

If you get stuck, try not to leave an answer blank. It is better to include some notes or stub functions so we have an idea about your thinking process so we can give you partial credit.
