Notice: Read the following carefully.
Quizzes are removed from this web site at 8:00 am on the date the quiz is due. They are no longer available after that time.  Also, future quizzes are not available until the material has been introduced in class.  In other words, not all quizzes are always available.

If you look at this page on your computer before a link to a quiz becomes active, and later come back to this page on the same computer, you will probably need to refresh (Microsoft explorer browser) or reload (Netscape browser) the page to get a fresh copy of the links.  Otherwise, this page is retrieved from your computer's cache, and isn't updated.

Occasionally, an error may be found in a quiz item after it has been put on-line.  If found in time (before anyone submits a quiz,) it will be corrected and re-posted.  Be sure you are answering the revised quiz, not a copy that you may have printed out earlier.

Quizzes should reflect your own work; you should not work with others on answering the questions. You may use your class notes and the internet resources as aids. 

By submitting the quizzes on-line, you are  attesting to the fact that you have not received nor provided help from anyone in answering the quiz questions. Remember that ethical behavior is the cornerstone of the accounting profession!

Quizzes may be due on non-class days!!  Pay close attention to the due dates!
