* There are 40 extra credit points that can be earned to offset any unanticipated problems by doing the assignments at the textbook publisher's website (& submitting these on time), as per your Course Description. The pop quizzes will be worth extra points, as well. Exactly how many points I assign to the pop quizzes depends on how persistently I see the class making genuine efforts to master the material (& not simply relying on extra credit). The greater these genuine efforts and mastery, the more inclined I am to reward these by increasing the point value of the pop quizzes. Thus, the point value of the pop quizzes will not be known until the end of the semester.
