Dear "Earth Revealed" Student: Trust you have enjoying watching the episodes and reading the book and the handouts that were provided and are getting ready for Test-5 and, finally, the Final Exam. Here is the Quiz that you have been waiting for. It is due back on June 2 when we will have our 6th and final class meeting (6-9 PM: CS-266), the 5th Class-Test (optional if you have already taken four of them, are satisfied with what you have received so far, and are confident enough of your essay-writing skills and command over the subject to be sure of doing superbly in the final), and the final examination. While Test-5 will be of the same format as the other tests before, the final exam is comprehensive (i.e., based on the entire book, all the videos and all the handouts). It will comprise your writing (a) one 150-300 word essay-type answer from a choice of 5-6 questions that you will be given and (b) two short-notes, of the type that you have been already answering, from another choice of 5-6 questions. I plan to use the “short notes” in your tests so far as part of the question bank for these ‘essay’ and ‘short notes’ questions, and will try to have them available online, by tonight or tomorrow, for your convenience.
