The homework portion of this course consists of sets of multiple-choice questions for the treated chapters. You must complete the questions on Blackboard, and you'll find them on the Quizzes page. Consult the syllabus for due dates. The deadlines are absolute, meaning that no late credit will be given, regardless of the degree of lateness. This is very important to keep in mind, because it can really put a dent in your total score, so I strongly urge you to set up automated reminders (e.g., Google Calendar) to notify you at least a day before each deadline. You are entirely responsible for ensuring that each assignment is submitted before the deadline.

I will allow you to take each quiz up to two times, and if you take a quiz twice, only the higher of the two scores will count toward your grade. However, if either of them is submitted late, the penalty described above will be applied before determining which score to use for your grade. Each quiz is a random sampling of questions from a larger set of questions supplied by the publisher. For this reason, different students will be presented with different questions. It is important to understand that I did not write these questions, and therefore the quiz questions will not resemble the questions appearing on my lecture examinations. The quizzes and the lecture examinations should be thought of as entirely separate batches of points, and preparation for my examinations should NOT involve studying the quiz questions. Rather, you should prepare for my lecture examinations by studying well prepared notes that you write during class time and that you extend and revise while listening to my recorded lectures.
