(for Friday, April 13)
Quiz Format
Quiz #3 will be closed book, closed note, and closed computer. It will consist of several short-answer and/or short essay questions. It will be administered near the beginning of class. (We will begin covering new material afterwards.)
For the most part, the quiz will require understanding of, and reasoning based on,important concepts beyond memorization of factual details. It will be worth about 5% of your overall course grade.
