   A note about the quizzes:
   Our quizzes use ANGEL, Penn State's Course Management system. This system is set to time out after 90 minutes of user inactivity. If the quiz times out before you've completed it, your answers will not be saved. The best way to prevent losing a quiz submission is to open the quiz, print it, close the quiz, select your answers, reopen the quiz and submit. You can open and close the quiz as many times as you want -- your answers are not recorded until you click the button!
   
   
2. After you submit your quiz, the Unit 1 Guiding Question will be unlocked in the Guiding Questions folder, and you can begin to work on your answer to the Unit 1 Guiding Question.
   Note: You will work on this assignment individually for this unit only. Teams will be assigned next for all future assignments.
