Quiz will be available on WebCT on designated day, in designated window.  log into WebCT for full data.

For some, but not all, of the questions you will be shown an image or two to go with the question.   For some questions, there are no images.  There will be 20 questions total, worth .25 points each. You may go at your own pace, but there is a one-hour limit for the whole.  You may re-take the quiz a second time, but the random delivery of questions and choices means you will have a different quiz, at least in part, the second time around. 

Remember than any one question may have more than one correct answer.  If  you do not get all the correct answers, you will earn partial credit for those that are right.

Do study as though you were taking it in class.  You are not allowed enough time to make it an open-book test.
