Quizzes

At the end of odd-numbered weeks (starting at the end of week 3)

3Every two weeks you’ll take a quiz, starting after week 3 (so after weeks 3, 5, 7, 9). These are open book, but prepare for them in advance (you won’t regret it). I’ll post it by Saturday afternoon, and you’ll have a three-day window, until Tuesday midnight, to complete it. Quizzes are timed, so once you start, you need to finish—you’ll have plenty of time, three hours. Don’t open them up until you’re ready—that means you’ve done the readings, read the online lecture material, and posted and read the discussion forums. There will usually be 3 to 5 questions, either short answer, multiple choice, or fill in the blank, and each quiz is worth 30 points, and will cover two weeks’ worth of material—reading assignments, online lecture material, and discussion forum threads.

Use generative AI to compose and write quiz responses at your own peril (refer to ‘A note on AI‘). 

Quizzes will be worth 24% of your overall grade (120 pts)
