Evaluation:

Student performance will be evaluated during and after completion of the course according to the following breakdown:

Quizzes; Assignments; Attendance	40

Three quizzes will be given to student and graded. Assignments are due in class during the due dates. In special circumstances (e.g., illness, holidays) we'll try to be accommodating, if you make arrangements with us in advance. Late assignments will be penalized by 10% per 24 hours if you have not made arrangements in advance, and will not be accepted at all 48 hours after the time due.

There are several ways to earn "Class Contribution" points. First and foremost is to come prepared for class, ask questions that other students want to know the answer to, and give clear, brief answers to questions I ask. Second is to be quiet and concentrated in the class.
