Instructions for all English 102 Quizzes:

Each quiz will consist of 15 "items" -- each worth two points, making each quiz worth 30 points. An "item" could be the name of a person, a situation, a specific term or a sentence from the essay. For each item, you must do two things:

• Identify which essay it came from. The title or author's name would work -- or just enough so I couldn't get it mixed up with any of the other essays.
• Tell a little more about the item itself. If it's a person, who is it? If it's a situation, describe how it fits into the essay. If it's a quote, who said it? As long as you provide enough detail to convince me you've read the material, I will usually give you credit for it.

Sometimes sentences will have words underlined. These are vocabulary words, and if you define them, you can earn bonus points. You'll find a list of these words at the end of each essay in our text. For more specific help, see the sample quiz
