EJ3 refers to Effective Java, 3rd Edition; we require the 3rd Edition.

For each batch of quizzes, you must take two of the quizzes as follows:
- The EJ3 quiz
- The PP1 or PP2 quiz but not both
You will only be able to take each quiz once and it won't show you the correct answers, but the quizzes are not designed to be difficult.
You will need to authenticate with your UW G Suite account; your netID will be automatically recorded (so we don't ask your name). If you are having trouble logging in, try using a private-browsing / incognito-mode browser window, then log in with your UW credentials.
