Quizzes Several thirteen-minute quizzes will be given during the semester. 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. These are scheduled for the evenings before quiz or exam days. They will last as long as necessary in order to answer all students questions on the current course material.
Attendance is optional.
The instructor encourages student questions during the lecture. The instructor will respond to these questions during the next lecture period. 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.
