These are weekly online quizzes (via Blackboard) scheduled throughout the semester, designed to test your understanding of key ideas explored in the seminars and online course materials.

Each quiz is worth five marks. Your best four attempts will be added together to give you a mark out of 20. We encourage you to attempt as many as you can.

You are welcome to use your seminar and reading notes but you are not allowed to work with other students. These quizzes are tests of your own knowledge and understanding of material covered in each week of the course.

Further guidance about how to access and complete these quizzes is available in the Assessment folder on Blackboard. We will also discuss the quizzes in class.
