sort of . . . every other week, anyway (starting week 3 through week 9)

At the end of weeks 3, 5, 7 and 9, we’ll have a timed quiz in Canvas. It will be based on the readings and source material from the readings page) assigned for the previous weeks. There will be 2 to 5 questions, either multiple choice, short answer or short essay.

I’ll generally make the quizzes available Saturday afternoon, and you’ll have until Tuesday at midnight to complete them. They will be timed (three hours), which is waaay more time that you’d need, but once you’ve begun you need to finish. These are open-book, but the answers won’t be simple recall—you’ll have to think through the questions. They will be based on material from the readings, lecture material online, and the discussion boards, meaning that it’s in your best interests to generate discussion and questions early in the week, so that you have something to study and reflect on before you decide to take the quiz.

As with the rest of the class, AI policy applies to the quizzes.

Quizzes will be worth 30% of your overall grade (120 pts, 30 pts / quiz)
