This page contains two sections.  The first section is an optional practice quiz for you to see how well you read the material in lesson 1.

The second section is for students who are using the CDs. At the bottom of each quiz page I've pasted a blank answer sheet. For example, this page has an answer sheet based on questions 1-48 of the "ASL Unit 1 CD."  Check your syllabus for more information as to how to take the quizzes.
