Quiz component of your grade
Update: The current plan is to have 14
quizzes in all (so there will be 2 quizzes during one of the remaining
classes), and I'll average your best 10 scores to determine the quiz
component of your grade for the course.
- There will be either 0, 1, or 2 quizzes each class meeting.
- There will be at least 13 quizzes in all.
- Quizzes may be given at any time during class meetings:
- possibly right at 7:20 (so don't be late for class);
- possibly right before or right after we take a break (so don't be
late getting back from the break --- you'll be safe if you're back by 10
minutes after the time the break started);
- possibly at the end of class.
- You won't need one every time, but I suggest that you bring a
simple scientific calculator (all you need is one that will do
arithmetic, powers/roots, natural logs and exponentiation)
with you for the quizzes.
- I'll drop between 3 and 5 lowest quiz scores for each student, and
average the rest of the grades to get your quiz contribution to your
overall score for the class.
- Part of the first quiz will be closed books
and notes, but all other quizzes will be open books and notes.
