This quiz aims to ensure you have a basic understanding of the political theories discussed in class before starting your essay plan and essay.

You will complete 20 multi-choice questions based on the political sociology theory lectures and readings in Weeks 2 and 3. You can look at class material when answering the questions but will be given only 35 minutes to answer them all once you start.

This assignment MUST be completed individually and you should NOT collaborate with peers when answering.

Grades will be calculated automatically and released at the end of the quiz period. This means you will NOT know how well you have done until after 5pm on 24 August - but if you feel more study is needed or you have some kind of interruption on your first attempt, you can make a second attempt and the highest grade from the two attempts will be your final grade. This second attempt must be made before 4pm, 27 August.

Given that a week is offered to complete the quiz and you can do it from a computer anywhere in the world, there will be NO extensions or make-up tests available.

More information is available in a quiz information sheet given out in Week 3 - see 'modules - 'theory quiz information sheet'. To study for the quiz, please read the three theory lectures (lectures 3. 4 and 5) and the two readings from Week 2 and 3 of the course. Good luck!
