Attempt History
Homie #10
This Homie is based on Week 10 Lectures, and Weekly Reader #10. Homie #10 contains 25 questions
(worth 2 points each) and is worth 50 points total.
IMPORTANT
:
-You have 3 attempts to do this Homie. Canvas will record your final attempt, irrespective of your
previous attempt scores.
-This Homie #10 deadline is Sunday, Mar. 26, 2023, 11:59pm.
-If you initiate the quiz but do not submit before 11:59, unfortunately, you will not receive credit.
Canvas only retains submitted work
-If you initiate the quiz in multiple browsers or tabs, but did not close any browser containing an
unsubmitted attempt before the due date, the system may automatically submit the open tab/browser
version, and might consider it as an additional attempt. Thus, only do this in ONE browser
-You will not be shown your graded responses. Correct answers will be made available later. But after
submission, Canvas will indicate which questions were incorrect
