Quizzes for Week 12

Dear Readers of Rome,

Three "maintenance" quizzes for you next week, all on ancient Rome and due Wednesday, April 8, at 11:59 p.m.:
  • Quiz 2: Hills of Rome (a two-parter) (20 pts., 3 min.)
  • Quiz 7: Advanced Roman topography (32 pts., 6 min.) 
  • Quiz 10: Basic Roman Infrastructure (19 pts., 6 min.) 
Quiz 2 asks you first to type the names of the 10 natural hills of Rome, and then to state whether they are or aren't among the canonical seven. Remember to do the two parts one right after the other.

Quiz 7, multiple-choice, digs into the text portions of the Basic Roman topography page.

Quiz 10, a map quiz, asks you to locate key features of Roman infrastructure. Use the best browser you can, and a large monitor.


Good luck!

Quizzes for Week 3

Dear Roman Readers,

The quizzes for this week, due Wednesday evening (February 4), at 11:00 p.m., are now up and running.

Please take the following three quizzes:
  • Quiz 2: Hills of Rome (a two-parter: follow the instructions to the letter) (20 pts., 3 min.)
  • Quiz 3: Rome of the Kings (17 pts., 3 min.)
  • Quiz 4: Founding Rome (15 pts., untimed)
As I said yesterday by email, quiz 4 is a thoughtful short answer quiz: I do not recommend that you wait until Wednesday to get started. The others will probably take you less time.

Please read all of the instructions and note the recommended preparations for each quiz. Remember, it is legitimate to load a quiz just to look at the questions -- as long as you don't hit Submit.

Technical note: For reasons I don't fully understand, hitting "Refresh" on some pages will cause the module to crash. I'm working on that. In the meantime, use the menus to navigate around or close your quiz windows manually. (If the module crashes, just close out and pick up where you left off.)


Good luck, and please report any major problems to me.
