Today's Class Quiz [11/20/18]

Today we had a 10-question quiz on what we have been learning in class. It was fairly easy to accomplish, and I felt that I did very well on it (hopefully). It was on what we have been learning in class and on the power points in class. Along with it had some of the same questions that we had done on a worksheet the other day in class (11/19/18). After we had finished the quiz, we were allowed by Mr. Schick to work on our blogs for today. Which is very nice of him to let us accomplish during this period of time. This quiz overall was simple but hard in a weird way. I found that the questions where easy, but we had to recall certain times that we had gone over the questions in class the other day. I don't have the best memory, but I was able to recall a few of the questions and the rest of them I had done by the knowledge I have gained throughout this class.

We took a test in class. I thought overall that I did pretty well. I don't think it was that hard.
