Common Limitations or Challenges
This quiz is a *preview* of the material covered in the course. It does not provide instruction or in-depth explanations of the concepts. It’s a test of existing knowledge, not a learning tool. Students should not rely on this quiz alone to fully prepare for the course; it’s meant to be used *after* studying the assigned chapters.
