What to expect in the quiz:

You will not be using the computer; your questions will be using pencil/pen and paper.

Your answers may be Mathematica code, sentences, or paragraphs.

You will have to know the syntax of each of these commands, which means knowing the number and types of inputs that must be provided inside the brackets, knowing the type of output that is provided (for example, a list, a number, or something else), and writing a brief description of what the command does.

You will be expected to analyze some simple code and explain what would happen if Mathematica evaluates it.

You will be expected to write down some simple code that performs a requested function.

You may have a piece of code that is written incorrectly and asked to modify it so that it works correctly.
