These questions are worth one point each. Grades for each question are 0 or 1 (no partial credit). Total points this review: 10. At the end of the course, total points will be added, divided by 100, and that fraction will be applied to 20% of your grade (maximum points from reviews is 20% of grade). See Assignments and Grading.
