Quizzes will be administered in the last 15 minutes of class, and can alternately
be taken online. Quiz topics — and quiz answers —
will be announced on the
day-by-day syllabus
To take the quiz online use the following instructions.
General instructions
- You will download a copy of the quiz from gradescope,
write out your answers, and upload it back to gradescope.
- You have 15 minutes, not counting the time for downloading,
printing and uploading. You will give your start and stop times;
if the time runs over 18 minutes, add a short explanation.
- If you find typos or other errors on the quiz, there is
no chance to ask for clarification. In this case, make your
best guess as to what the intended question was, and answer
that question.
- You must work the quiz without any resources such as notes,
textbook, internet, etc. You may not consult with anyone else
about the quiz.
Before the first quiz, download the "Quiz Example" assigment
from gradescope to see how it is laid out. If you write
some "answers" on it and upload it to gradescope, you can get feedback on
how good the picture quality is.
-
Download the quiz from gradescope. Do not start looking at,
or thinking about the quiz, until you are ready to actually start.
-
If convenient, print a copy. If not convenient, use a blank, white
sheet of paper (a single page) for your answers. In that
case, write your answers
in the same approximate location on the blank sheet as they would appear
on the downloaded quiz. (This is to facilitate grading.)
- Write the time you start the quiz in the indicated spot.
- When you finish, add the time you stop. If the total time is over 18 minutes,
please explain.
- Add your name and signature to indicate you abided by the
academic integrity instructions.
- Make a good quality picture or scan
of your quiz. You may need to experiment to learn how
to take good quality pictures! (Points may be deducted for
poor quality uploads, as it can significantly impact grading.)
- Upload it to gradescope.
A quiz can be downloaded (on a Tuesday or Thursday)
starting at 4:30pm. It must be uploaded
before 9:00pm the same day. (Upload time may be adjusted.)
