Each quiz will generally cover material from the previous time period since the end of the last quizzes content (or the beginning of the quarter for the first quiz).
Quizzes will be administered in Gradescope. You may take the quiz anytime during the 24-hour period during which it is assigned. You can update answers and turn in incomplete ones as needed before the deadline.
Quizzes are open note, open book, open lecture, open section, open DBMS, but CLOSED to talking with other students or referencing outside resources. Quizzes must be completed individually with no communication with anyone about content or answers. As noted in the syllabus, we take academic misconduct seriously and will give students a score of 0 for any quiz for which they violate the Student Code of Conduct.
Don't expect to get 100% on each one. In the past few quarters, our exam median tended to be 70%. Some quizzes may be more challenging than others.
You can expect the quiz to take about 40 minutes to complete on average. Aim to at least view the quiz earlier during the day and have uninterrupted internet access for at least an hour.
No accommodations will be made for students who have trouble with last-minute submissions. The only accommodations for quizzes that will be made are those that correspond to the University's official accessibility guidelines, which must be reflected in your student account.
Make-up quizzes will only be given in case of a serious emergency.
Section handouts have good practice problems.
The table below lists problems from former exams, categorized by the topic and format so you can focus your study. The "mixed" topic has many true/false style questions. You can expect similar types of questions to the ones from former exams, just fewer of them per test.
