Final Exam - 200 points. If you miss a midterm exam with an excused absence, your grade will be based on the remaining scores, scaled appropriately. Calculators may not be used on the first exam or on the homework quizzes. They may be used during the other midterms and the final exam. These sections are all coordinated, with common homeworks.
Office hours are free tutoring .
You're not only doing yourself a favor, but are also giving me valuable feedback. The more questions you ask, the better my next lecture will be. If you cannot come to my office hours or the TA's, go to Symington's, Carney's or Fonken's office hours, or to their TAs'. A common office hour list will be distributed in a few days. The lecture is about concepts and context, explaining how everything fits together.
