Each day a randomly chosen problem from old homework sets is selected (1 point for a correct answer). Each week, the previous week's homework is graded (5 points max, late and incomplete work is worth less). Every week has either a quiz (10 points) or a test (20 points). Weekly quizzes are open homework/notes, Tests are not. Tests occur about every other week, and the lowest test does not count towards your grade. If you have an excused absence, quizzes do not need to be "made-up," but you are expected to take any missed test the day you return. In the case of a long (excused) absence other arrangements may be made. First Quarter Exam (40 points, graded on a curve) is on October 16, 2009.
