Quizzes will be given on Thursdays except in the week of an exam.
In an exam week the quiz will be given on Tuesday and serve as a review for the upcoming Friday exam.
Quizzes will mostly include material from lectures, problems clearly explained by your TA in
a previous discussion and/or assigned homework.
Each quiz is worth 10 points:
8 points for the quiz problems and
2 points assigned by your TA.
These points can be for discussion attendance for the week, discussion participation,
extra quiz problem or homework problem assigned by your TA or any other assignments or
exercises assigned by your TA.
There will be no makeup quizzes. Three quizzes are dropped to cover rare situations where you cannot make it to class. This is intended to cover court dates, funerals, train accidents, stolen cars, military duty, alarm clock problems, dental and doctor appointments and more. Otherwise, there is not a good reason to miss class.
There are two types of homeworks.
Required homework that will be assigned, collected and graded.
