Quiz 2 - The Constitution DUE Friday by 11:59 PM AND some Housekeeping (Please Read)


Above please find the link for Quiz 2. Note that although the syllabus says it is due Wednesday before class, I am allowing you to finish it by Friday night. Some quick reminders in light of the change:

1. I am going to take your 8 highest scores for your quiz grade. This does not mean quizzes are optional. Rather, for each quiz you do not take you will receive a "0" score for that quiz. So if you skip this quiz and the next two, for instance, you will already have low scoring quizzes as part of your pool of quizzes (indeed, zero is the lowest score you can receive on a quiz).  In short, you should attempt all quizzes going forward. *The only optional quiz is the first one, which is due today.

2. If you decide to not do a quiz, you are still responsible for the reading assignment. Take reading notes, have a few questions for the start of class or lecture, a comment on the reading, etc. That way if I call on you I'll know you at least did the reading assignment.

3. I am NOT placing Chapter 2 online. I went to the bookstore and counted no less than 20 copies this afternoon, so that or Amazon or wherever you buy books puts you on the hook to get a copy of it. And for those that want to save money and don't mind reading on the computer, you can go to the publisher's website (click here) to buy a copy of the eBook version. 
*Note that I will put Chapter 3 online, but only because it is already available for free on the publisher's website. 

That's all for now. See you Wednesday. And do the reading! -ZG
