Quiz Question (Memo or Study Tool) Instructions & Tips

• Approximately once every two weeks, you need to contribute a quiz question, study tool, or memo.  Sept 20, 22, 27, or 29  ///   Oct 4, 11, or 13   ///   Oct 18, 20, 25, or 27   ///   Nov 1, 3, or 8   ///   Nov 15, 17, 20, 29
• Questions must be posted on Monday or Wednesday evenings, and be based on the reading due for the NEXT day.  So for example, if Babbie Chapter 6 is to be read by Tuesday, Sept 28th, then by the evening of the 27th, a question/study tool/memo based on that chapter should be posted.
• You can incorporate concepts from previous readings, but the substantive part of your question/study tool / memo should be based on the reading for the next day.
• PLEASE use a descriptive title for your post.  For example, be more specific than Babbie Chapter X.  Try "Babbie Chptr X - Reliability and Validity Quiz Question"
• When writing out the answer, please be thorough in your explanation.  Rather than saying A, B, and C and wrong, explain why they are wrong, and provide definitions and examples of how they might be "right."
• Memos should be the equivalent of half a page single spaced (or one page, double spaced), and address questions as listed in the syllabus, and/or describe a concept in-depth, making sure to distinguish it from related concepts and provide an example (not already in the book).
• Study tools should be a compilation/summary of information from the reading/lectures that organizes and simplifies otherwise complicated information.
