    Kickoff activities Quiz

    This activity will close Friday 17th at 23:59, after which you can see your marks and reflect your responses with the help of quiz feeback.
    

    Original plan was to do these during the kickoff but due to zoom problems it was not possible. You can try these out freely (no time limit). We'll have similar activities for the learning sessions. For the learning sessions (not for this set), the activities will be awarded up to 1.0 course points per session.
