Quizzes
There are 10 short multiple-choice quizzes; one at the end of each unit. These are non-cumulative
quizzes based on the unit readings, unit lecture videos, and unit activities you complete. Start the
unit quiz after you have completed and thoroughly reviewed all of the unit content and are
comfortable with the concepts. The unit quizzes are scored and you have 60 minutes to answer all
10 questions in a quiz. Time begins from the moment you start each Unit Quiz and runs
continuously: once time begins there is no way to pause it, including loss of connectivity or logging
out, so please plan accordingly. You may refer back to the unit content during the quiz, but all
questions must be submitted within 60 minutes of starting the questions. You only get one attempt
on each quiz .
