In-class Quizzes

There will be a number of in-class quizzes throughout this class. I WILL NOT LECTURE ON THE QUIZ MATERIAL IN ADVANCE. The purpose of these quizzes is to ensure that you are prepared to think about and discuss design issues at a high level, without having to spend valuable class time working on basic syntactic and semantic details. I EXPECT YOU TO HAVE READ AND THOUGHT ABOUT THE APPROPRIATE MATERIAL IN ADVANCE.

Each quiz will have an individual component and a group component. The same material will be asked on both sections of the quiz - the group section gives you a ``second shot'' at the material, with the aid of your peers to help you fill in gaps in your own understanding. Your grade on any quiz will be the average of your individual grade with the group grade.
