Quizzes (20%)

In anticipation of each class meeting, I will post three or four questions associated with the reading for that particular day. These questions will appear in the "Food for Thought" section of the website. While you read, pay attention to these questions. At the beginning of every class meeting, I will give you a five-minute open-note quiz on one of the three or four posted questions.

Five minutes will probably not provide you with enough time to scan the reading and write a meaningful answer. I highly recommend that you jot down notes as you read so that you have some sort of prepared answer when you take the quiz.

If you arrive late, you will only have what remains of the five minutes to complete your quiz. If you miss the quiz completely, you will have no opportunity to make it up.
