Grades

20% based on 12 quizzes
- each quiz will consist of one or more homework problems
- since you will not have access to the "DE Tools" software during the quizzes, problems requiring this software will be appropriately modified.
- no make-up quizzes, even for excused absences. However, I will throw out your three lowest quiz grades.
20% based on Test I
- make-up tests will be given only for excused absences
- make-up tests will be different from scheduled tests
