Week 1 DQ Responses Assess your responses to the discussion questions by comparing them with my "official" answers which will be uploaded to this link Friday afternoon. Place a score (this week from 0 to 3) rounded to the nearest 1/2 point, at the top of your page. Turn these in the first day of week two. DO NOT tear a page from a spiral notebook and turn it in with frilly edges. Week 1 Quiz Print out the quiz and darken the oval for the letter of your answer for each question on a Scantron sheet (provided in class on Mondays).  I'll take questions about the quiz during week 1 class time.   Turn these in the first day of week 2.
