THERE WILL BE NO MAKEUP EXAMS OR QUIZZES

THER IS NO EXTRA CREDIT

There will be 10 quizzes and four exams.  If an exam is missed, the fourth (final) exam becomes mandatory.  Only the three exams taken or the three highest scores will be counted.  The lowest quiz score will not be counted.  A late take home quiz loses 10% of its value every working day it is late.  All exams and quizzes are comprehensive.  Many questions will be short answer but there will be a variety of question formats.

Grades breaks will be determined towards the end of the semester using natural breaks in the distribution.  The following are guaranteed grades.

Excuse Policy

You may send an email or provide a written reason for missing class.  At the end of the semester, these excuses will be checked with your scores and if reasons are valid an average of in-class quiz scores will be used to replace missed quizzes up to a maximum of two.  One quiz will be dropped before any grades are replaced.  There are only four in-class quizzes.  There is no excuse for missing a take-home quiz.  Therefore, no take-home quizzes can be made up but will simply be reduced in value based on lateness.

 

Re-grade Policy

Re-grades will be allowed for two weeks after the day the quiz or exam was returned to you.  Any request beyond two weeks or after our last scheduled class will not be considered.  Identify the questions you want reviewed on the top of the quiz or exam and give it to the instructor.  Do not put re-grades with things that are being returned.  Do not write a rationale for the original answer – just write “Please check #...”

 There are no other ways to earn points.  There is no possibility of extra credit work
