non-credit quiz

weekly

These quizzes will be graded. If their average is greater than your lowest test score it will replace it.

The above total, excluding bonus points, is 600, (plus a few points, depending on miscellaneous assignments), and your accumulative total will be divided by that amount to calculate your final average.

90 - 100 = A, 80 - 89 = B, 70 - 79 = C, 60 - 69 = D, 0 - 59 = F

NOTES:
l. Final percentage will be rounded UP, i.e., a final percent of 79.00000001 will be rounded up to 80.
2. You should keep all returned papers. You should also keep track of the ratio (your accumulative total)/(The accumulative total possible to date) as the quarter progresses. If this average is not above 70 by midterm, you should consider dropping the course to avoid a bad grade.

3. If you stop attending this class without obtaining a drop slip from student services the registrar will give you a grade of F in this course.

4. Words of wisdom regarding Math homework.
I hear........ and I forget,
I see..........and I remember,
I do...........and I understand.
