Art Appreciation 1309—Week 1 Quiz Review
The Week 1 Quiz consists of 25 multiple choice questions, and you will have 30 minutes to
complete it. This time limit is to ensure that you complete the review prior to taking the quiz.
If you try to look up answers while taking the quiz, you will run out of time. The questions are
delivered one-at-a-time and once you answer a question you cannot back-track.
If you lose your internet connection while taking the quiz, e-mail me immediately at
bryan.e.wheeler and I will reset it ASAP. Because this can occur, I highly recommend that you
do not wait until the last second until you take the quiz, because once the due date passes,
you will not be able to take it. There are no late or make-up quizzes allowed.
Finally, you will not be able to view your finished test until the quiz due date has passed. After
that has occurred, you will be able to see the questions you answered incorrectly.
