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
