Online Attendance Quiz

This quiz is meant to record your attendance online. I will give you 25 participation points just for taking the quiz. I will not record these points in the Canvas system.

Your actual score in this quiz will simply tell you how well you are preparing for the final exam--this score will not count towards your final grade in the class.

Therefore, unlike the final exam, it is open-book, open-notes, but ... still individual.  You are bound by your honor to answer these questions without the assistance of others--except in cases of officially recognized physical disabilities, in which a reasonable accommodation will have to be approved by the teacher in advance.
