101 Quiz Policies

    Quizzes are at WebAssign.  On a week in which a Quiz
is given (see the Quiz schedule), the Quiz is available
at WebAssign from Noon on TUE until Midnight on WED.
For Quizzes, there is a 20 minute time limit; once you
open the Quiz at WebAssign, you have 20 minutes to write
up your solution, photograph your work, create a pdf file
from your photograph, and submit your pdf file at
WebAssign.

    Before starting a Quiz, you must be sure that your
internet connection is stable.  If you are not able to
submit a Quiz within 20 minutes after opening that Quiz,
then that Quiz will have to be one of your two dropped
Quizzes for our Spring 2022 semester.

    Starting at midnight on WED, there is a 20-minute
grace period after which the no submissions are possible.
To repeat, at 12:20 AM THU, it will become impossible to
make a pdf submission for that week's Quiz.  If, for any
reason, you have not submitted your Quiz by this time,
then that Quiz will have to be one of your two dropped
Quizzes for our Spring 2022 semester.

    At WebAssign, you will find a Sample Quiz for
Practice Assignment which you can use to practice making
a pdf upload that is appropriate for WebAssign.  Because
there is a 20-minute time limit for an actual Quiz,
it is VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO COMPLETE THAT PRACTICE
ASSIGNMENT.  NOTE: Names of pdf submissions at WebAssign
may not contain spaces, commas, etc.  Always make a simple
filename for your WebAssign pdf submission (such as
"quiz1", or "quiz2", for example, for the letters
preceding the ".pdf" file suffix).    After submitting,
always double-check that you have submitted a readable
pdf file.  Please don't risk getting a zero by trying to
make your pdf submission in the final minute of the
20-minute quiz period. If you do not successfully
complete the pdf upload, then the Quiz in question will
have to be one of your two dropped Quizzes for the
semester. Thanks, GBA.

   At WebAssign, the size of pdf submission files must
be less than 3.0 megabytes.  You should be able to write
up a Quiz solution on one side of a single 8.5 by 11 inch
piece of paper.  A photograph of such a solution, 
converted to pdf, should easily be less than 3.0 MB in
size.  Be sure to complete the Sample Quiz for
Practice at WebAssign before starting your first Quiz
in order to get practice in submitting pdf files at
WebAssign. 

    One final note about submitting Quizzes at WebAssign.
You should NEVER use the "save work" feature of WebAssign
for submitting pdf answers; as long as time has not
expired you may always re-submit your pdf file.  Only the
last pdf submission will be seen by the grader.  If you
SAVE your pdf submission at WebAssign, but do not
successfully submit it, then you will receive a zero for
that quiz; therefore, NEVER use the "save work" feature
for a pdf-submission question at WebAssign.

There are a total of seven quizzes during the semester.
Quiz topics are given in the schedule.  You will need a
small hand calculator for the quizzes.  The highest five
Quiz scores will be counted.  If you take all seven
Quizzes, your two lowest quiz scores will automatically
be dropped at the end of the semester.  If you fail to 
submit a Quiz, FOR ANY REASON, that Quiz will be one of
your drops.  NOTE: you might also like to read the
Internet Disruption Policy for our Spring 2022 course.
Your quiz average will account for 5% of your final
overall grade for our course.

                   QUIZ GRADING APPEALS

Quizzes will be graded by a grader.  If you submitted a
paper quiz (there are none this semester), then your
graded quiz will be returned by your TA at a later
recitation.  If you submitted a pdf Quiz at WebAssign,
then your graded Quiz will appear at WebAssign
approximately 1-2 weeks after you have made your pdf
submission for that quiz. If you wish to appeal the
grading of one of your quizzes, you must follow these
procedures:

(1) Please DO NOT try to discuss the grading of the quiz
    with your TA immediately after recitation.  Your quiz
    was not graded by your TA.

(2) If you think you deserve more points on a graded quiz,
    submit an appeal IN WRITING, following the instructions
    in Section (3) below.  Explain carefully exactly why
    you deserve more points, and ask for as many points
    as you think your answer deserves.

(3) Send your written appeal, in PDF form, to Dr. Adams by
    email within two school days of receiving your
    graded quiz either from your TA, or at WebAssign.  

(4) I will pass your appeal to the grader, who must give
    you a written reply, which will be emailed to you
    either through Dr. Adams or through your recitation
    TA.  If you are not satisfied with the grader's
    response to your appeal, then you may ask Dr. Adams
    to consider your appeal; in such cases I reserve the
    right to regrade your entire quiz.
