Quiz #1 Tonight -- //Remember that we do not make up quizzes in this class in order to make sure that they can be returned promptly and encourage attendance. If a student misses a quiz, it will be dropped for the first two. There will be seven quizzes in the course; some will be longer than others. Only the best five quiz grades will count. In other words, if you miss two quizzes, it will have no effect on your grade (other than the fact that all the other quiz grades will count -- even low grades). If you miss more than two quizzes, you will receive an F on each subsequent quiz.//
