Tips For Studying
- The quiz questions are taken directly from the lesson videos and are very straightforward with no "trick" or especially difficult questions. The best way to study is simply to re-watch the videos and take notes to help remember the information.
- The video lessons include summary pages for clarity, however it is strongly recommended that you watch and listen to the entire video as much of the quiz content is discussed in the narration.
- We will devote an entire class period to reviewing for the quiz. Usually this review is one class before the quiz is given. Participating in the review game is a graded activity that is added to your quiz average. Often the "easy A" from participating in the review game can help soften the blow to your average if you get a low quiz score. So it is strongly recommended that you are present and participate fully in the quiz review games. Also, note that review game participation cannot be made up if absent. If you miss it, you will be excused and it won't count for or against you.
