Hi, Folks! I hope you've found our first chapter and its corresponding module as
interesting as I do (and timely too, right?!)
.
Next up:
1. Our quiz for chapter 13
- it is based on the material we have covered thus far with
respect to the chapter (all content from the lecture, whether oral or written, video or
announcement, is fair game!), as well as the content of the chapter
itself (hint: you'll
want to have access to both!)
.
2. You are given four attempts
to respond to the questions, and your highest score will
count
as your final score in the grade book. 3. Please note the due date and time
. 4. Feel free to contact me
via Canvas Inbox or student drop-in/office hours
if you
have any questions, comments or concerns (for real, People, I'm here to help!)
. Best,
: ) Prof Leonard
