Attempt History
READ EVERYTHING before starting this At-Home Module Assessment Quiz B (MAQ B)
MAQ B is a multiple choice quiz on Canvas worth 100 points. You will be assigned 60 questions. 58 of
the questions are worth 1.66 points each, and 2 of the questions are worth 1.86 points each. IMPORTANT
:
-
You have 1 attempt to do this MAQ, with a 2 hour limit.
-Your 2 hour max MAQ B session must be completed before the deadline is Sunday, March 5,
2023, 11:59pm.
-If you initiate MAQ B but do not submit before the time limit, unfortunately, you will not receive credit
. -As with Homies, if you initiate MAQ B in multiple browsers or tabs, Canvas may do the unexpected,
