What you will find in reading quiz
When you enter the forum site, you will see a list of questions. Some of those quesions are reading quiz questions. You will need to answer them. If there are many questions, then it may make sense to display the current reading questions only, by filtering or searching. You can do so by clicking on "Tags" tab and then clicking on a tag that corresponds to the current reading quiz. All tags related to quiz will start with "rq" and end with a date string. For instance, the tag for the first reading quiz is rq1-jan9, where jan9 is the date of the lecture, for which the reading quiz is designed.
How to answer quiz
For the first two quiz questions, I have provided some possible answers. You answer by voting on them.
For other quiz questions, no answers are provided by me. If any student provided an answer that you agree with, then vote for it. If not, provide your own answer! Please do not create redundant answers. If you basically agree with an answer, but have comments about it, then comment on it.
Please note that you can change your vote any time. Clicking the hand symbol again will make you un-vote, and then you can choose some other answer.
You can also vote for multiple answers. For a certain problem, this may make sense. However, a pattern of giving random multiple answers mindlessly, would be forbidden. If such a pattern is noted, then it will be considered a breach of academic integrity.
Tags in the forum site
If you filter questions with a tag and then filter it again with another tag shortly after, then both tags will be used for filtering. So, tag filtering is cumulative. If this is not what you want, use "start over" link that appears in the tagged question list view.
Your courage will count
Sometimes it may seem a bit scary to give an answer. Or, give another answer, when a popular answer exists. To say what you believe requires a courage. Even if you do not get it right, this courageous process is very important, since if you do not know what you believe, how can you learn anything? (Mistakes are essential steps for learning.) For this reason, I never hold you responsible at all even if your answer turns out not to be the best answer. What I generally do is quite the opposite -- I will generally consider the courage of providing an answer, or providing genuine opinion, in a very positive way.
Here is another way to think about it. Any dogmatic, and popular, answer has some hidden thing that makes it stink.
