Quiz Learning Objectives
This page lists the Quiz Learning Objectives for this course. These will be assessed on quizzes, but you’ll have a chance to practice these skills in class and on assignments as well.
There will be approximately 25 Core and 15 Advanced Learning Objectives. The full list will be given as the term progresses.
