What do you make of the novel so far? How would you characterize the plot? Who seem to be the main characters? What do you think is the most important event which occurs?
These quizzes are now open note, or open book if you can prove that you did the reading - proof consists of notes, annotations, sticky notes, or any other form of textual marking occurring throughout the extent of the assigned text.
Last Quiz: 36% did most or all of the reading; 8% did some of the reading; 32% didn't do the reading; 20% didn't take the quiz.
This result means that there will be quizzes for the next three classes. These quizzes will escalate in weight, with Quiz 4 counting as 10, Quiz 5 counting as 15, and Quiz 6 counting as 20 points. If less than 75% of the students continue to not read, all further quizzes will remain at 20 points. All future quizzes will be open-note or open-text subject to the conditions described above.
