Exams There will be at least three one-hour exams. There will be a comprehensive two-hour final which will be mandatory. Quizzes Quizzes will usually be unannounced and will usually be of very short duration. There may be a quiz any day. Likely material for the quizes will include short answer or essay questions, homework problems, or material emphasized in class.
Points Points are cumulative for all class activities.
The following is the guaranteed scale for final grades. However, the instructor reserves the right to adjust the curve downward slightly to allow for better breaks between letter grades. He also reserves the right to discard one or more quiz grades for every student from the percent calculation, but this is not a guarantee. There may be some opportunity for bonus points. There will be a final exam and all students will be required to take it.
