Syllabus

About makeup quizzes:

Just to make sure we are on the same page: because the bookstore ran out of books, makeups on the first two quizzes are allowed. Those have to be done before Saturday April 17. I'm willing to be as flexible as possible in scheduling, but please note that this isn't saying I'm available 24/7. To take the makeup, you need me to be present. Please don't put it off until the last moment that you can do it, because if I can't do it at that time, well, problem. For you...

Other than those first 2 quizzes, unless you let me know ahead of time you can't make it or have a medical excuse, there's no makeups. If you get to class during the quiz, just do your best (and note that you were late on the quiz); no guarantees but I will take that into consideration (obviously if you are repeatedly late, I will take that into consideration...).

If you have any questions about quiz policy please ask. "I thought it was OK to ..." is not going to work at the end of the quarter.

Something to think about: on the 3rd quiz, nearly 70% of those sitting in the front half of the class got 5 of 5. For those in the back half of the room, it was about 40%. Cause and effect get complicated, but it was a striking pattern.
