            All exams and quizzes are open book, open notes.
            Students missing an exam or the final without obtaining the instructor's permission in advance can expect to get a zero. At the instructor's option make-ups will be available, but will be harder. Make-ups will be given on Friday, May 7th, at 1600 hours.
            No make up quizzes will be given.
Grade Scale: 90/80/70 % = A/B/C etc. initially. The final break points will be curved.
Cheating: Don't do it. All graded quizzes & tests should be your own work. Expect to get an 'F!' for the course if caught cheating.

Use of smart phones on a test or quiz will be considered an act of Academic Dishonesty and will be treated accordingly. [Added 14 January 2011.]
