Hints/Info
for
MML Quizzes



  1. Unlike an in-class on-paper exam, a MML quiz (which is taken over MML): is open notes, cheat sheet is allowed, and calculator is allowed. MML will not provide a calculator so bring a calculator.
  2. For sections covered on a MML quiz, make notes (e.g., on a sheet of paper or as flash cards) of items you would like quick reference to during the (timed) quiz.
    Your notes will help not only on quizzes but also for exam studying.
  3. A quiz must be completed in one session, i.e.
    once you start a quiz, you can NOT come back to it later .
    In case of an emergency, email Prof. Girardi immediately.
  4. For a MML Quiz (unless otherwide announced)
    on the day of the quiz
    the quiz can be started anytime after 7:00 am
    and must be finished by 11:59 pm .
    The allotted time is indicated in the quiz's name on MML, e.g.: Quiz 2: 12.1-12.3 (30 min).
  5. What happens before the start time of the quiz. (once quiz is posted)
    • The quiz will appear on MML Course Home page (if needed, on the right side column in a horizontal row, change Current to Entire Course to Date and look under Current Assignment). Allotted quiz time is in quiz name. The quiz will not open until the start time.
    • The quiz will not appear under (MML) Assignments.
    What happens after the start time of the quiz.
    • The quiz appears and opens in both: (MML) Course Home and (MML) Assignment. (see left MML column)
    • In (MML) Assignments, if needed, from a pull-down menu select either: All Assignments, or Quizzes, or Quizzes&Tests
  6. MML will indicate how many minutes a student has for the quiz. The time remaining should show on the bottom bar. Also, a warning appears as the end time is nearing.
  7. The questions will be in the same style as MML homework questions. Be able to do questions quicker on quizzes (and exams) than when still learning by doing homework questions.
  8. On MML Help and Hints, see Reviewing Assignments for how to review MML assignments, which is highly suggested when studying for the quiz.
  9. Over the sections covered on a quiz, work some practice quizzes, as explained at the (linked) MML Help and Hints, which is also posted on course homepage. Working such quizzes will also let you see the format of a MML quiz.
  10. After the class finishes the quiz the quiz results will be posted on MML, at which point you can see your quiz score and review the quiz. Prof. G must do this by hand so if you do not see your result in a reasonable amount to time, just shot her an email.
  11. Students may not discuss, nor share any information about, the quiz with others until the day after the quiz is to be taken. Failure to follow this will result in a F in the course
  12. If you are registered with the Office of Student Disability Resource Center for extended time and you have discussed your accommodations with Prof. Girardi at least 48 hours prior to the quiz availability then your extended time will appear when you open your quiz.
