Homework and Quizzes
Homework problems will be posted here. Homework will be assigned but usually NOT graded.
However we will have a quiz almost every week, and the quiz problems will be either exactly or almost exactly right off the homework.
No makeup quizzes will be given, but 15 quiz/homework points will be dropped.
