I reserve the right to give in-class, pop-quizzes at any time. The purpose of these is to discourage skipping class and also to motivate students to keep up with material. There will be no makeups; students with valid excuses will receive credit based upon their performance on the relevant exam.

The three exams and any quizzes will account for 60% of the course grade. The final quiz will account for another 10% of the course grade.

All three exams, any quizzes and the final will be closed book, with no notes.
