Quiz Makeup Questions

As in similar classes, students will have the opportunity to improve their scores for the quizzes by submitting makeup questions.
Here are the guidelines for these questions:
- you need to submit your makeup questions within one week of the quiz availability date
- each question adds up to five points to your quiz score; if I need to revise the question or answers, you may get fewer points
- you can submit several questions for each quiz, but your overall quiz score won't be higher than 100 points
- please formulate the questions as plain text format according to the template below. Multiple-choice are my preferred option, but multiple-answers (where more than one answer is correct), fill-in-the-blank, calculated answers, and several others are also available. I've tried free-form text answers as well, but grading those in Blackboard is really tedious - far worse than the paper equivalent.
