Quiz 6 (June 18-24)

Quizzes are given throughout the semester for this course. The quizzes are mostly short-answer questions based on the your readings. The purpose of the quiz is to self-assess your knowledge and understanding of the content, not to cheat the instructor and yourself. When you start the quiz, please do not refer to your textbook. Finish as much as you can on your own without using a textbook and then finish the rest with the help of the textbook. If you can answer all the questions without using the textbook, you are excellent. If you can answer most questions, you are very good. Now after the quiz, you know what part you need to work on. If you can only answer less than half of the questions without referring to a text book, you are ok, but you need to read more carefully. If you can't answer any of the questions on the quiz without consulting the textbook, you need to re-read the chapter(s) and take the quiz a second time. Please be honest with yourself.
