Typical questions will ask about things you have encountered while preparing your assignment and some basic understanding of what you where doing and why you were doing it. I try to make these questions easy for anyone who has completed the assignment with an active mind. It should be possible to get a perfect score on all of them. The quizzes are not good models for the final exam, the questions are not "problem solving".
You are welcome and encouraged to submit quiz- and exam questions to me or to the course mailing list. I always consider these carefully and often include such questions (in slightly modified fashion). I am always disappointed how little use students make of this opportunity.
