Math 246 Quizzes, Fall 2009

There will be eleven short in-class quizzes based on the homework. No calculators, books, or notes may be used during quizzes. All items except pens, pencils, and erasers must be off the desktops.
Quizzes will be given at the beginning of the class period. They will be short. Please be sure to arrive on time!

These eleven in-class quizzes will be worth 10 points each. Your ten best quiz scores will go toward your course grade. No make-up quizzes will be given.

Any quiz score which is lower than the "tens" digit of your score on the in-class exam covering the same material will replaced by that digit. For example, if you score 63 on the first in-class exam then the score of any of the first three quizzes that is lower than 6 will be raised to 6. WARNING: Because it rounds down, if you rely on this policy for most of your quizzes then your net quiz score will typically be one letter grade lower than your average in-class exam score! This policy is intended to provide a safety net that you can use a few times, not as something that you should use often.

If the University closes on the day of a scheduled quiz and no exam is scheduled that week then the quiz will be given the next time the class meets. If the University closes on the day of a scheduled quiz and an exam is scheduled that week then the quiz will be cancelled and your quiz score will be the "tens" digit of your score on the exam.
