The University requirements of writing across the curriculum will be met by many of the activities during the semester and we expect the students to demonstrate proficiency in writing logically, legibly, and lucidly. Using a preprogrammed calculator in a quiz or exam to store information not available to the entire class, including solutions or equations, is considered cheating. These quizzes will be entirely unannounced, however, you can count on roughly ten quizzes in a semester. There are NO make-up quizzes .
