The homework will consist of suggested problems, which will not be graded, but forms the basis for the quizzes. The lowest quiz will be dropped, and furthermore you can miss four classes without affecting your attendance score. The final exam will be comprehensive. Calculators, textbooks, or notes may not be used during quizzes or tests.
