Quizzes may be given in class or in your lab. Sometimes, I may ask you to turn in your homework which will be counted as a quiz. Grades on those quizzes that consist of turned in homework are based on written evidence of substantial effort not correctness of answers. Mid-terms and the final take 75 minutes and two hours respectively. Excused absences result in reallocation of percentage weights so there is no penalty.
Unexcused absences result in a grade of zero on the missed quiz or mid-term.
While I strive for equity, accuracy and consistency in grading, some grading errors may occur. In terms of maximizing your learning as well as making certain that your grade is not understated, it is important that you promptly review all aspects of grading on all your quizzes and exams. To facilitate this process, I provide every student with a set of written solutions when I return each quiz or exam. You are the final quality control in the grading process. If you have any questions, please see me.
