Exam questions will stress the material I have explicitly discussed in lecture, but may also include some material that is only found in the text. There will be a short quiz approximately every week, usually on Monday. These quizzes will prepare you for some of the kinds of questions you might face on an exam, and should also motivate you to keep up with the material. Quizzes cannot be made up. I will post the answers on the web.
All exams are closed book and include material from the lectures and the readings.
Exams will consist of multiple choice, short answer and essay questions. I stress conceptual thinking rather than memorization. The quizzes will give you some idea of the kinds of questions to expect. Requests for regrades must be submitted in writing within one week of receiving the graded exam. Exams cannot be made up except under extraordinary circumstances.
