The following 25 question quiz is entirely multiple choice and true/false. Do not take this test until you have a firm grasp on all of the terms you completed when you colored the first set of handouts. To eliminate the possibility of you using your handout to help you complete this test, I am putting a time limit of 20 minutes on this quiz. If it takes you longer than 20 minutes, you will need to come in to class and take the quiz in person (on your own time). You may take this online quiz only once, so be sure you are ready.
