Due:  Monday Before Noon.

This is the week 1 Quiz for Sociology 101. The answers to the quiz were all covered in the review. You are encouraged to discuss the questions with your classmates, however you must create and express the answers in your own words.

Here are the questions. You are encouraged to use a word processor like Google Docs or Microsoft word to type out your answers before you submit them.

Once they are all written, then open the quiz and copy and paste them into the following Google Form. SUBMIT ONLY ONCE.

In the sections that ask for your email address, please put in only the first part of the oak ID. Example:

If KN340892@ohio.edu is your email, only put KN340892 into the text box that asks for your Oak id/ohio edu email.

Same for gmail. If your gmail is susyque@gmail.com please only put susyque in the box that asks for your gmail.
