The quiz format will be short answer, fill-in-the-blank, draw a diagram, or label a diagram. It will be worth 50 points and be given during the last 30 minutes of class. I expect that there will be approximately 20 - 30 questions of the quiz. It will cover everything we went over in class up until yesterday. You will have a few minutes for review in the minutes immediately preceding the quiz.
