Is it a "QUIZ" or a TEST!

I want to start thinking about the quiz on Friday. Although, I don't believe that this "quiz" will be easy or short - which is what I most commonly associate with the word "quiz" - so I think I'm going to call it a test. "Quiz" makes me think of a small examination of what we have learned from a small portion of material. I believe we have covered too much so far this year to only be "quizzed" on a small portion of it. I think from my extensive list you will agree that the proper name for this recollection of knowledge is test ...

• So far we have talked about the importance of place in several different ways from the prospective of several different writers. 1) was how you have to know a place, like your home town, in order to write about it in a professional manner from the view of Scott Russel Sanders. 2) was from Annie Dillard about how a writer needs space, like a large warehouse, to get their ideas on paper more efficiently. 3) was about the idea of a room of one's own as a physical or mental place to escape to in order to be able to write from Virgina Woolf. and 4) was from Charlotte Perkins Gilman about the need to express oneself one's mind in the form of writing where ever and however best suited the writer.
• Then we have talked about displacement and how being relocated can effect how one is viewed by others in society and the stereotypes that follow a certain group of people. We only read one piece of literature relating to this by William Shakespeare.
• Further still we may be "quizzed" on how to properly close read a section of a story.
  
• Then it would be possible to be asked about how to develop a thesis that is informative to what the paper is about and answer the question "so what?"
• Which may lead to the proper structure to a college-style essay and how it should be organized and well thought out.
  
• Then maybe we would be asked to do work with conjoining words to link two or more short sentences.
  
• Or maybe some of the grammar and punctuation that we just recently reviewed.
  

As you can see this list could go on and on. But I wont bore you with all the little details. Hopefully, by now, you can see why I don't think "quiz" is the proper name for this recollection of our collective knowledge. I think test is a much better name.
