    Quiz One

    Reminder: Conferral with classmates is not permitted

    The window for this quiz is Friday, 2/2, between 2:00 pm and 10:00 pm (be sure to start by 8:00 pm so you'll get the full use of the 120 minute time allotment). 

    All questions are set up as short answers (even if it's a fill in the blank or multiple choice) because, in most cases, I want you to provide an explanation for your answer. You do not need to show specific calculations or external uploads for any of the problems, but remember that if you describe the logic and thinking behind an answer it's easier for me to give partial credit even if you end up with an incorrect result.  

    Two hours should be plenty of time for most of you, but if you feel particularly rushed on one or more problems, please let me know (my goal is not to squeeze anyone for time). Also, if you get stuck or something is unclear, let me know in your answer to the question and move on to the other questions. You can also contact me with questions/concerns but please wait until after you've submitted the quiz so you don't lose any time. I will follow up on any issues/areas of clarity or concern after you submit your quiz.
