There will be no make-up exams!
Every Tuesday, during a 5-minute break in the lectures, we will have a simple mini-quiz. Some courses give mini-quizzes in recitations. Instead of breaking up the 50-minute recitations, it may be advantageous to do it during a pause in the 85-minute lectures.
A missed homework, quiz or exam counts as a zero. Only in case of verifiable illness can you be excused.
