Greetings...
below is a copy of the take home quiz I distributed and explained on Wednesday.
I will post copies of the other handouts I distributed later this weekend. If you did miss class on Wednesday, please be sure to get notes from a fellow student. One of the handouts I do not have on my computer so I will not able to post it here. We covered a LOT of material. It was an especially bad day to miss. Be safe and enjoy your weekend.
(note: when I copied and pasted this quiz onto the blog, the example now does not indicate the second line tabbed in, but of course YOU know that second and consecutive lines are tabbed in! :-)...)
