| Factoid Quiz | | F 04-28-06 01:58:55 PM |
| | | On May 4, the final day of class, we will be having the Factoid Quiz. THIS IS REQUIRED FOR EVERYONE SO PLAN TO BE PRESENT! The Factoid Quiz will consist of about 50-60 short answer questions (usually no more than one word, or maybe a phrase). We will take about 40 minutes of class time to take the quiz, review your answers, and tally scores. Remember that this is a quiz that can help BOOST YOUR GRADE, if you do well on it; but doing poorly will not reduce your grade. The best way to study for it is to have been in class, since most of the short answers will pertain to things from lecture and the class discussion days. |
