A quiz will cover materials lectured in the previous week. Homework will be assigned, but no homework will be collected.

Absence from exams:

Your two lowest quiz scores will be dropped. No makeup quiz will be given. Missing a mid-term exam is permitted only for the most compelling reasons. You should obtain my permission in advance to miss an exam. Otherwise you will be given a 0. If you are excused from taking an exam, a makeup will be arranged in my office hours. Except in extraordinary situations, all students missing the final exam will fail the course.
