I recommend you type in my address to be sure it goes to the right place. If you select the reply or respond option, you may send your answers to the class list server. If you do this, it will be obvious to everyone, and will result in 10 style points deducted (10 style points = 2 chemistry points).

Quiz answers should be returned no later than Tuesday, Feb 20, at 4:30 pm. Late quizzes lose 1 style point per hour (same conversion factor as above).
