• Quizz dates will show on the schedule page
• How the weekly quizzes work: every Thursday’s quiz covers the previous week’s two lectures — never the material from that same week. That gives you a full week with each topic before you’re tested on it.
• Note: Q0 (week 1) is an ungraded screening PreQuiz and does not count toward the grade.
