Grading System

Announced Quizes

There will be a ten minute quiz given each Friday (or Thursday, if you are in the Discovery section) promptly at the beginning of the hour. The material covered in the quiz will cover the material discussed in class that week. The only excuse that will be accepted for missing a quiz will be a written one from a physician. If you must miss class on Friday (or Thursday), let me know early and I will arrange for you to take the quiz early. I will drop the two lowest quizzes.

Exams

There will be two one-hour examinations covering all of the material up to the date of each examination. Dates and locations for the examinations are given on the exam page along with practice exams from previous semesters. Each exam will count 100 points. The final exam will not be comprehensive and will also be worth 100 points. No excuse, except that of a physician, will be acceptable for missing an exam.

Grading Scale

If you are taking this course "Pass/Fail", you must get at least a "C" to receive credit. Grades will be determined on a total basis as follows:
