The quizzes will last 3 minutes and will start immediately at the beginning of class. So, if you want to take the quizzes, do not be late for class. The research project is an integral part of this class. It will be done in groups of two and will require the collection of data, and the analysis and interpretation of the your data in the context of the published work of others. Grades will be calculated as follows.
Assignments are due promptly at the beginning of class.
Late assignments are very strongly discouraged and will lose one letter grade for each day they are late unless arrangements have been made with me prior to the due date of the assignment. There will be two exams during the semester and your performance will be evaluated as follows. Please bring the Atlas with you to class and practicum but not to lab. There is no text book for the course this year due to suggestions from the last several years of students. These books should NOT leave the building and should return to my shelf when you are done with them.
