Blogging about quiz 3
I've wracked my brain trying to come up with a good approach to quiz 3. The main point of the quizzes is to keep you on track (caught up), but I have to say that the first two quizzes haven't gone real well. And I don't want quiz 3 to be a repeat, but I do want it to be good prep for next week's exam. SO.....
Here's the plan for quiz 3: it will be in-class, but it will be something you can do in teams of two or three. So you need to decide ahead of time who you will be taking the quiz with (if anyone). LET ME KNOW so I know how many copies of the quiz to make. We'll take the quiz at the end of the hour and you can leave when you're done (or by 9:05, whichever comes first). You'll need to scatter about the room so your team can work closely together. There will be a lot of talking, so if you are expecting "quiet time" for this quiz, it isn't going to happen. There will be a lot of "explain this" on the quiz, so I'm expecting you to talk things over with your quiz partner(s) so you can write a very concise explanation. The plan is to have the quizzes graded by Monday so you can have them back before Exam 1.
