The quizzes are normally the most difficult aspect of the course for students, so be sure to study hard. Each quiz is open-book, and your time will vary depending on the number of questions. See the specific instructions for each quiz to see its particular time limit. Multiple- choice and true/false items make up each quiz. About 60% of the material will come from the PointCasts and 40% from your assigned readings. Note that some of the text outlines for the Hays and Erford chapters appear to have been done prior to the final revisions on the text, so they may have some information that is now present in another chapter. When this occurs, focus on the material that was present in the actual chapters.
To get you started off in the right direction, below you will find hints for several of the Hays and Erford chapters covered in Quiz 1.
