– We will have mini-reviews before each exam so that you
can assess your exam readiness and study accordingly
Strict Exam Rules: Exams may not be rescheduled or made-up
due to tardiness or absence. Students with extraordinary
circumstances should discuss them with the instructor as
soon as the situation occurs.
Lectures
• I will try my best to post lecture PowerPoints
on ANGEL before lecture
• Lectures may not cover ALL the material on
exams (but the vast majority of my exam
questions come from lectures, labs, and the
study questions that guide your reading)
Quizzes/Homework
• Quizzes
– There will be 5 quizzes.
– Quizzes will cover material presented in lab and
lecture
– Quizzes are designed to prepare you for the
exams (e.g. fill-in-the-blank, short answer, label
etc.) and help pace your studies.
• Homework is typically due on Mondays unless
otherwise specified.
