Occasionally, an error may be found in a quiz item after it has been put on-line.  If found in time (before anyone submits a quiz,) it will be corrected and re-posted.  Be sure you are answering the revised quiz, not a copy that you may have printed out earlier.

Some quizzes may be due on non-class days!!  Pay close attention to the due dates!
