Though this was written for our RUSS2102 review course, anyone's free to take it. Just don't enter your name!

The quiz is on the basics of morphology: using the form of a word to predict its part of speech or its gender, and matching up words that share a root.

Fill Vowel Challenge

This activity is called a "challenge board". It's kind of like Jeopardy, in that it has categories and columns, but the points are awarded differently.

This particular one is on fleeting (fill) vowels - providing the correct form (with or without) when given an example of the other one.

Give it a try, why don't you?
