If you miss a quiz for whatever reason a "0" is assigned for that quiz. There are no makeup quizzes, so don't waste your "discards" by not showing up - save them for days when illness or some other genuine problem keeps you away.
Students who add the course late And therefore do not have the chance to take all 10 quizzes) can drop a proportionally smaller number of quiz scores.
Quizzes are handgraded and graded out of 6 points. There are no regrades---if your answer is not clear enough to get the credit the first time around you need to work on making your work and answer clear.

Material to be covered on each exam will be announced in class.
Exam rooms will be assigned before each test. They can be looked up online at the Math department homepage or at: Exam seat lookup
Exam Materials You should bring the following equipment to each exam:
Results can be looked up on Telesis (experimental for me, lets hope it works): Telesis
After the results are back, there will be a limited period of time during which you can look at the papers in the Math office to raise questions about mismarked cards and similar issues. After the holding period they will be returned in your discussion section.
Missed Exams Legitimate excuses for missing an exam (verified illness, serious family emergencies, etc.) in all calculus courses must be approved by Professor Jack Shapiro, preferably in advance. Having one person approve excused absences for all courses helps to guarantee that all students receive uniform treatment. An unexcused absence results in a score of "0" on the exam in question.
If you are excused by Prof. Shapiro from one of the in-semester exams, you will not be given a make-up test. Instead, the method of "multiple linear regression analysis" will be used to estimate your missing score. The method is rather complicated (for details take one of our excellent courses in linear statistics), but it takes into account your performance on the other three exams, and the class' performance as well. Hence you're not penalized if the exam you missed was one on which everybody else had high scores.
Students who have an excused absence from the final will take a make-up test, usually early in the next semester.
