Types of questions you might see

Note that this is NOT meant to be an exhaustive list, but should give you a good idea of the types of questions I typically will ask on short quizzes throughout the semester. The quiz is meant to be 10-15 minutes long, so you should be able to answer most of these quickly.

  1. Draw a graph with property A and property B.
  2. Draw a graph with property A but without property B.
  3. Define the term "blah".
  4. State the theorem about "blah" and "blah"; or complete the statement of a theorem.
  5. Given this graph, find a "thingamajig".
  6. Given this graph, does it have property C. Why or why not?
  7. Give an example of a graph with property A and B or explain why no such example exists.
  8. Provide a short proof of a statement.
