Homework: Homework can be handed in during class or put in the envelope outside my office door. Homework is due by 5 pm on the due date. Late homework will have points deducted from the score. Graded homework can be picked up any time from the other envelope on my bulletin board. Homework can be redone and handed in again; the higher score will count. Redo's are due two weeks after the assignment date.

Quizzes and Tests: There will be quizzes (announced in advance), two tests (TBA) and a (self-scheduled) final examination. All quizzes and tests are closed book. If you are unable to take a quiz or test for any reason, you should consult with me, preferably beforehand. (You may call my answering machine at x2299 at any time, day or night.) They can always be taken early. Tests taken late for reasons other than illness will have points deducted from your score.

Grading: Each test is 100 points, the final examination is 100 points, and each quiz is about 10 points. Your lowest quiz score will be dropped. Homework is 100 points.
