Grading Policy: The course grade is computed on a total of 500 points. The total is based on six 100 point grades as follows:  three progress exams of 100 points each, a homework-quiz grade of 100 points, and the final of 100+100=200 points.  The homework-quiz grade: The quizzes are taken from the assigned homework due that week. Each Discussion leader choses as he wishes a problem  or parts of it, from the set which is due that week, and administers the quiz at the time he considers fit during the discussion session. The lowest of the six grades is dropped automatically. Attendance to the class is mandatory, will be taken every class and may affect your final grade. An unexcused absence from a test or quiz earns a grade of zero. When a student has a valid excuse for missing a test, the missing test grade is replaced with the average of that student's other test grades.  The Honor Code will be enforced and violations will not be tolerated. No electronic devices, bags, or notes are alowed during exams.
