Your final grade will be determined from the following: \\
• Tests will be given during regular class time and will comprise 60\% of your final grade, evenly distributed among all of the tests given (i.e., if three tests are given, each will comprise 20\% of your final grade, etc.).  If a test is missed for any reason, the 60\% of the final grade will be shared between all tests taken (i.e., if three tests are scheduled and you only take one of them, then that one test will be worth 60\% of your final grade; if two tests are taken, each will be worth 30\% of your final grade, etc.).\\
• The final exam will be worth 20\% of your final grade.  If you take no tests during the semester, the final exam will be worth 80\%.\\
• Homework quizzes will be given shortly after each homework assignment completion date in class.  These homework quizzes will comprise 20\% of your final grade.  The two lowest quiz grades will be dropped at the end of the semester.  Any missed quiz will be considered a zero.
