Lesson 1 Quiz Results
Important: This quiz uses a diminishing multiple choice format. What this means is that if you miss a question, this
evaluation page will explain why the answer you selected was incorrect. The evaluation has been carefully
designed so that it will not identify the correct answer unless you choose that answer yourself. If you want a better
quiz score, you are expected to return to your lesson, review the material, and then take the quiz again.
Please understand that it would be very easy for me to just spoon-feed you the correct answers each time you
miss a question. But if I were to do so, then you would become dependent on me. In the long run, that approach
would do more harm than good.
I want you to leave this class with a solid understanding of this material and the independence to solve your own
problems. This quiz evaluation page has been specifically engineered to fit my teaching philosophy.
