And let me repeat that you cannot, under any circumstances, take a quiz other than at the assigned time during the Wednesday class. If you cannot do the algebra correctly, unfortunately you will struggle. It is not enough to get the algebra right after several failed attempts, or to have to spend a lot of time thinking about how to correctly do some basic algebraic calculation. Therefore, you need to know thoroughly all of Chapter 9 of the text, and that means being able to do all the exercises. I strongly recommend that you read this chapter now, and practice some exercises from the beginning.
Most students earn their grade fairly.
However, a small number have attempted to cheat. This includes bringing unauthorized notes into exams, and glancing at neighbors exams. Not only is this dishonest, it is unfair to those that work hard to earn their grade. If anyone considers cheating, I suggest that they drop now. I really need to pass this course, it is my last class before upper division.
