Week 2 Knowledge Check

The questions in this assignment focus on material from this week's sources (e.g. readings, videos) as well as what is covered in class. This assignment may also cover material from previous weeks and classes. This is an open-note, untimed assignment. You may attempt this knowledge check up to three times to get your best score.

As per our grading contract in the syllabus, you will receive credit for this grading item if you make a "timely, complete, and quality submission that fully follows the assignment instructions." Timely means that late submissions of this knowledge check are not accepted. For your knowledge check to be considered complete and high-quality, your best score must be 80% or higher.

Remember that to get a B or higher in the class, you do not have to complete every single grading item. Please check the Grades section on Canvas to determine how many items you have completed as you progress through the quarter.
