Practice Canvas quiz, ungraded

I set up a practice quiz on Canvas on the topic of linear algebra. The quiz is ungraded and just there for you to practice taking Canvas quizzes and test your linear algebra knowledge. If you get all of the questions right then you are well prepared for this class. If you have trouble answering some of the questions, please make sure to go over the topic of the question again by reading your linear algebra textbook.
