Quizzes
In this course we will try to do many examples and problems.
Practice Homework problems will be given every class.
These will help you prepare for quizzes which will be announced every week.
It is your responsibility
to be aware of them, either by attending class or by talking to students
in your study group or by checking this web-site.
It is highly recommended that you meet with students in your study group atleast once a week.
The quizzes, while easier to get points for, should not be taken lightly.
They are crucial in understanding the material, keeping up-to-date with the class, and also in preparing for the tests.
Each quiz is worth 10 points (usually). Some may have more problems than others.
The total points out of all the quizzes will count to 40 % of the final grade.
We will probably have 7 or 8 quizzes minimum.
