Assignments:
Quizzes: You will have roughly 8 short quizzes which will be given on Tuesdays to test your understating of the material discussed during the prior week. These are tentatively scheduled for Jan 30, Feb 6, Feb 13, Feb 20, March 6, March 27, April 10, April 17, and April 24. Sorry, no makeup quizzes will be given, but the lowest quiz score will be dropped.

Tests: You will have 2 tests and a Final Exam. The dates for the tests will be announced in class at least one week in advance, but for now these are tentatively scheduled for Feb 27 and April 3. Please see me in advance if you have a conflict with any of these times and we will make appropriate arrangements.

Grading:Your grade will be determined as follows:

Homework 20%
Quizzes 20%
Tests 40%
Final Exam 20%
Total 100%

Content: We will discuss material from chapters 1,2,3,4,5, 6 and 7 in the text.

Attendance Policy: Attendance is very important and shows that you value your education and take it seriously. By choosing to miss class without having a legitimate excuse to do so, you forfeit your right to seek my help with material discussed during your absence.

Honor Code You are encouraged to discuss the homework with others but be an active participant and do not let others think for you. On the other hand, exams are to be strictly your own work.
