Students are strongly advised to read the sections taught each week in advance, following the weekly Calendar  .
Homework Students are required to do the homework every week (see the weekly Calendar )
The homework will NOT be graded.

Students needing some feedback are advised to turn it in at the Monday recitation class and to ask the TA to grade it. The homework will serve as a basis for the weekly quizzes, the 1-hour tests and the final exam.
Pop  Quizzes There should be 12 quizzes during the Fall semester, approximately once a week
(see the weekly Calendar ).

The pop quiz  can be offered at any time either in recitation classes or during the lectures.
It will be a test on the homework that is due on the beginning of the week.

Each quizz contains 5 short questions, each graded 0,1 or 2, similar to the ones addressed in the homework of the week.

Only the 10 best quizzes will be counted in the final grade. An absence on a quizz will be graded 0 (zero)  (so that only if the student is absent less than twice, it will not affect the final grade).
1-Hour Tests
There will be TWO 1-Hour test during the Fall semester.
