 Since we don't need to have book for this class I'm assuming
 that all the quizzes will be based on lecture notes, right?

 That is correct.  On all counts.  We do not have a text for the class
because we cover such a variety of topics.  You can take the quizzes
anytime you want, as many times as you want.  The quizzes are based on the
lecture materials on the Web.  It is not material that needs to be
memorized.  You simply need to be able to demonstrate familiarity with the
information.  I suggest that you have the quiz in one window, and the
lecture notes in the other window
