1.15 Module 1 Quiz - Course and Geology Introduction15 (Remotely Proctored)

This quiz will assess your understanding of the material covered in this module. This includes what you've learned through completing the lectures, discussions, assigned readings, and laboratory exercises.  You have one attempt and 50 minutes to complete this assessment and as is the case for all quizzes, you may use your notes, textbooks, and exercises, but NOT your siblings, parents, roommates, the internet, etc.  All work must be your own.    

While creating this quiz, I considered our learning objectives for this module.
