There will be scheduled makeup exams 7:30-9:00 PM on the same dates. Arrangements to take the makeup exams must be made in advance. Those students unable to take either the regularly scheduled exam or the makeup must notify their lecturer as soon as possible. The makeup for the final will be sometime in January, TBA.

Quizzes

Every week (except during exam weeks) during the last 10-15 minutes of your recitation you will be given a quiz on a homework problem from the previous week's assignment.
