The eight with the highest grades will be averaged into the final grade. In addition to the above graded quizzes, students will take non-graded, interactive, anonymous quizzes at frequent intervals to help the instructor assess his teaching effectiveness. Students may copy any that they wish, but the originals may not be removed from the room. Help Sessions These are scheduled for each of the evenings that immediately precede quiz or exam days. They will last as long as necessary in order to answer all student questions on the current course material.
Attendance is optional.
The instructor encourages student questions during the lecture. The only letter grades will be the mid-term and the final grades. If it will increase your final course grade, I will drop your lowest and highest one-hour exam grades and double the scores on the remaining two exams. This should help the student who does poorly on one of the four exams. If you miss an hour exam for any reason , it will automatically become your lowest grade and I will drop it and your highest hour-exam grade and use the other two exams to determine your final grade.
