* Note: One missed (lowest) quiz will be dropped, but if at least 65% of students enrolled in the lecture class participate in
the on-line survey “Student Evaluation of Instruction” (SEI) for both lecturer and recitation instructor, then two
missed (lowest) quizzes will be dropped.
Final Exam Schedule: Final exams will be given in the recitation rooms.
