You should make it a habit to consult the newsgroup on a regular basis.
Students can post general class-related announcements to the newsgroup.
The newsgroup is NOT the best way to get a message through to the instructor, so do not rely on it to get answers from the instructor on urgent matters. Quizzes There will be unannounced quizzes throughout the quarter based on previous lecture material, and these will be held at the beginning or end of class. Exams There will be a midterm exam during the quarter and a final exam. The exams will be based on class readings, lectures and projects. The instructor will provide a study guide in the form of a class review for exams prior to the exam date.
