Quiz Answers

In case anyone's interested, I thought I'd post some answers to the quiz questions I posted the other day asking people for help in timing online quizzes.

Regarding the timing issue, everyone reported that it took them a very short time to type their answers - admittedly it's a self-selected group (I doubt slow typers would enjoy blogging all that much, and people who hate science probably wouldn't be answering these questions for me), but still it gives me a starting point. My plan with my class is to (a) ask students during the first week about their typing skills, (b) unless any of their answers worry me, I'll give the same amount of time for the first quiz as I would give in a face-to-face class, (c) I'll look at the statistics of how long it took them to complete the quiz and adjust subsequent quizzes accordingly.

( So, for the answers )

Once again, thanks for the help!

Veg Meal #3: Zandi Baguette

Modeled after the Black Sheep Baguette, my third vegetarian meal is the Zandi Baguette. You take some favorite bread type and split in half. One side you coat liberally with basalmic vinegarette, the other with a good pesto. The fillings are fresh mozzarella, some lettuce, and avocado slices. The original used actual baguette bread (I forget what type we used), and didn't have the lettuce and avocado but had sun dried tomatoes instead. We had a side of cheesy rice and broccoli. Make sure you get a nice dense and textured bread.

Cost was more reasonable than the meat substitute meals, but still slightly higher than it could've been b/c we made poor choices in how to purchase ingredients. We bought bread rolls individually instead of in a pack, avocado's always expensive, and we could only find fresh mozzarella at the "Mediterranean salad bar". So the price ended up comparable to a meat meal for "just a sandwich." But it's a yummy sandwich! ^_^

Anyone know how the environmental impact of cheese compares to that of eating meat?
