Does anyone happen to have the quiz questions? Please it would be a lot of help for myself and others who also need them! Thank you!
This isn’t entirely complete, but I hope this helps to whoever needed it!

Muybridge and Marcy’s relationship?

For the final exam I am not sure if I understood what you said in class yesterday. Will we actually have 12 hours to take the test once we open it or is the window just available for 12 hours with a one hour testing window like last time?
Once you open it you will have 90 minutes to complete the test, but you have from 9am till 9pm to open it up. Sorry for any false information, but i’m pretty sure that this is correct.
I’m not sure if I heard correctly in class today, but is Writing #4 still due on Saturday? Or is it pushed to Tuesday?
Tuesday! I’ve now revised everything.

Hello Professo,
In the outline it mentions that for February 4th we won’t be having class. I just wanted to make sure that it was correct.
I know the midterm is coming up soon. Is there (and will there be) a study guide? Do you have any advice other than reviewing our notes?
I was also wondering about this as well. Have you (Professor Jackson) decided on the format in which we were to take the quiz i.e. scantron, iclicker, paper&pen, etc. yet?
All mysteries will be solved tomorrow!
Hi Professor, I know you mentioned you were planning on update the schedule (to reflect this week’s extension) but in case you missed it, there are some dates that conflict with the day of the week such as:
Writing 5 Due (Friday, February 13, 11:55AM) – Friday is actually Feb 14 and Writing 6 Due (Friday, February 20, 11:55AM) – Friday is on the 21.
Thanks Tiffany. It’s updated now. I’ve made some changes to reflect the my sick day as well.

Hi, just to clarify is the assignment due at 11:55 p.m. the night before class or after class on the 9th? Thanks!
Hi Jacqueline,
Writings will be due at 11:55PM the night
after class. For the first writing, I’ll also be giving you a short extension until Friday at noon.
