In-Class Reading Quizzes

There will be seven (7) in-class reading quizzes this term of which the instructor will drop only one quiz from the student's final grade.  Each quiz will be multiple-choice in format, administered at the beginning of the class period, and will cover the readings up to that class day.  See the reading schedule in the syllabus for the dates of the quizzes.  There will be NO MAKE-UP QUIZZES ALLOWED.  Should you miss one of the quizzes that will be the one quiz the instructor will drop from your final grade average.  Should you miss more than one....that will be your problem to solve.
