This is where quizzes will be posted (and taken from class in situations where we have internet capacity in the classroom).
At times, these quizzes will be graded in class, cooperatively among students. At other times, the instructor will take them at the end of the quiz. At still other times, the quiz will be taken in pairs or small groups. Each is a different approach to learning and assessment. It is my philosophy that a quiz be as much an instrument of learning the material as it is a formative assessment. Summative evaluation can be done later in a more comprehensive way. May the dancing get you into the rhythm of life, learning, and information recall!
