HUM 223: In-class quiz

Sometimes in my classes, I give quizzes to encourage attendance. I try to ask questions that are not too intellectually demanding, so you get credit basically for being here that day.

So I will ask two questions below, and you will post your answers as a comment to this blogpost.

Here's how.

How to post your comment

Go to the bottom of this post, right below the next graf. On the right side of the last line, there will be a link that says "Posted by Pete at 12:34 PM ___ comments" (with a number filled in where I've left a blank, depending on how many comments have been posted). Click on that " ___ comments" link and fill in the comment field on the right. Sign in.

You'll probably have to do something to register for Blogger. Do it (they'll prompt you). Make a note of the username and password you choose. We'll keep on posting to the blog, and if you don't make a note you'll forget it. Please believe me on this. It is something we have learned by hard experience! When you've reviewed your comment, publish it by clicking on "Publish Your Comment." And that's how you publish your comment. Logical, isn't it?
