They will be short and test material discussed in lecture. At least 1 quiz will be given before the first exam to give students some idea of how they are progressing, and to familiarize them with the types of questions to expect on the first exam. There will be 3 exercises assigned outside of class time that are related to the basics of management science. These 3 exercises will serve as the only available extra credit for the semester and will take no more than a total of 3 hours combined. To receive extra credit you must participate in ALL 3 of the exercises.
Participation is completely voluntary.
The date and time of the exercises will be determined within the first 3 weeks of the semester to allow students to plan accordingly. I cannot stress this enough. This means that if your grade is borderline and you did not participate in class you will NOT be bumped to the higher grade. Questions and problems that arise from homework assignments will be discussed in class but not necessarily put on the homepage for students not attending class to download. Grades will be curved to fit the recommended grade distribution guidelines from the Department of Information Systems.
