Policy and dates

Policy on attendance   Students are required to attend all lectures. The penalty for unexcused absences is:
2-3 absences: grade penalty
4 absences: F on the course
There will be unannounced quizzes. In addition to giving the student the incentive to study on a continuous basis, they allow me to record attendance. Missing a quiz, or failing to collect one, each counts as an absence. The student is asked to bring to class a kit of coloured pencils, which will be used in tests and quizzes.
Grading policy
quiz 20%
partials 54%
final 26%
The score on the final will replace the lowest score on partial exams if the student is in good standing, meaning: not more than two unexcused absences.
