$HOME/tmp.quizlog

Try this line:

*/10 *  * * *   ch1quiz /usr/local/bin/updatehw > /home/ch1quiz/tmp.quizlog 2>&1

$HOME won't work out of /etc/crontab - if you want to do that use 

  sudo crontab -u ch1quiz -e

and add the line

  */10 *  * * *   /usr/local/bin/updatehw > /home/ch1quiz/tmp.quizlog 2>&1
