What are they? When are they?

• There will be an on-line quiz prior to almost every class.
• They ask you about relatively straightforward aspects of the reading.
• They also ask for feedback on what's giving you problems.
• Please take them no later than 9:00 AM each class day.

Why are they?

• They encourage you to keep on track in the reading, which makes class discussions a whole lot  more useful.
• They provide us insight as to which areas are causing the most consternation, which allows us to plan class time in a way that will do the most people the most good.

Grading of quizzes

• To reward your diligence, you will be given one point for every quiz you take, to be applied to the next exam.
• The maximum number of points is N-1, where N is the total number of quizzes.
• Since late quizzes don't do us much good, only those turned in before the deadline will be counted.
