Final exam: There will be a final exam worth 200 points on Monday, Dec.10 at 2 PM. All students must take the Final Exam.

Quizzes: There will be a ten-minute quiz almost every week (usually Tuesdays). Each quiz will be worth 10 points. There will be a total of 12 quizzes. Your best 10 scores will be chosen to constitute a quiz grade of a possible 100 points. There will be no makeup quizzes. Any missed quiz will be the one that you drop.

Homework: There will be homework problems assigned but not graded. Quizzes will be based on homework problems.

Grading: You have a total of 600 possible points: 100 points for each of the three 1-hour exams, 100 points for the quiz, and 200 points for the Final Exam. You will be able to drop the lowest �100 points�. This lowest �100 points� may be one half of the Final Exam. This gives you a possibility of 500 points. 
Your final grade will be determined from these 500 points as follows:
450-500: A         430-449: B+         400-429: B         380-399: C+         350-379: C
