Policy and dates

Policy on attendance   Students are required to attend all lectures. The penalty for unexcused absences is:
3-4 absences: grade penalty
5 absences: F on the course
Quizzes will usually be on Friday, and will usually be given back within the week. 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 24%
partials 50%
final 26%
The score on the final will replace the lower score on partial exams if the student is in good standing, meaning: not more than two unexcused absences, and, if applicable, a score of at least 50% on the practice partial tests.
Dates of partial exams
exam 1 Feb 24
exam 2 Mar 31
Exams are in class. Exam material is usually announced in class. Exams are comprehensive. Dates and topics supersede any information found in the general syllabus.
