There will be three in-lab quizzes that review the material covered in lecture, lab, and assigned readings. These will be 45-minute quizzes and will ask more in-depth questions than the web-based reviews. For example, an in-lab quiz will likely have more short answer and short essay questions, which are impossible on the web-based reviews. Each quiz will be worth 10% of your final course mark.
