Topic quizzes - 2 per week

Learning Objective: The quizzes offer you feedback about your understanding of the weekly readings.

You will take two quizzes each week: one about the Background assignment and another about the Primary Source assignment. These quizzes consist of True-False questions, and you can see the questions before taking the quiz. When you take the quiz, you will be randomly presented with 10 or 15 of these questions.

You can take any quiz a total of two times up to the deadline for the assignment. Each time you take a quiz, Desire2Learn will record your most recent score, whether it is better or worse than the previous attempt.

Big Hint: Print out the quiz questions before you take it. In other words, the quizzes are"open book": you can "check off" the answers as you find them while reading the assigned content. You will find the questions for any quiz at the bottom of its assignment page; answer these first before taking the quiz because they are in roughly the order you will find them in the readings. In the quiz the questions will occur in a random order, so they would be a lot harder to find.

Another tip: Don't start any quiz until you have completed the readings, in case your connection to Desire2Learn times out while you are investigating the answers. If you are disconnected from Desire2Learn during a quiz, there is a remedy: this is why you are allowed to take the quiz twice. You can take every quiz twice if you want to, but I would recommend trying to get the grade you want the first time, and then if there's a problem with your Internet connection, the second chance will come in handy.

TOPIC QUIZ: The statements are either True or False. When you take the quiz at Janux, you will see 12 of these statements, chosen at random, worth 2 points each.
