Other reading assignments will come from magazines such as Discover or Scientific American that are on reserve in the library or available on the Internet. Your understanding of the class material will be evaluated on the basis of four quizzes, two in class exams, and homework assignments. The examinations and quizzes will be in class. While each exam will emphasize material that has been covered since the last exam, by necessity each exam is also comprehensive. To perform at an acceptable level I would expect that you will need to spend two hours outside of class for each hour spent in class.
Homework is due at the beginning of the class period the assignment is due.
Late homework will not be graded. No make-up exams or quizzes will be given. Your lowest quiz or exam score will be replaced by your final exam.
