Instructions
This Canvas quiz is your homework exercises for Ch. 1. Don't forget to do all the quizzes for the week.

You may take this quiz as many times as you wish up until it closes, and only your highest score will be
kept. Each time you take it, though, you must answer every question.

It is due by Sunday (April 4) at 11:59 p.m. (PST).

When you view your score after submitting the quiz, Canvas displays how you answered each part
underneath the problem. It says "Answer", but that is how you answered, not necessarily the correct
answer. Your score for each part will give you some partial feedback about how many you got correct.
Correct answers will be posted the morning after the "available until" date closes.

It is important to understand how Canvas scores the "select all" problems with check boxes, so that you
know how to interpret the feedback. Canvas takes the number of points the problem is worth, and
divides it by the number of correct answers. For each correct answer you check, you get + that unit of
points, and for every incorrect one you check you get - that unit of points. So if there are 2 correct
answers, and the problem is worth 3 points, the unit is 1.5. If you select one correct and one incorrect
answer, you will get zero points. So if you get zero on one of these, it does not mean everything you
checked is wrong!
