You will only be allowed to bring along with you one (1) A4-size paper of your own notes ('cheat sheet'), you can use both sides.
The final date will be announced during the semester.
CLASS PARTICIPATION:
AProgress and participation will be quantified via quizzes. Each quiz will be a list of multiple-choice questions, to be posted on Canvas after each class -- with a due date and time.
There will be a total of 10-12 such quizzes during the semester, 1 point each. We will select the highest-scoring 10 out of those for each student, for a total of 15% of the final grade.
Students who attempt all the questions in the quiz will get 0.5 point even if they answer all these questions wrong. Students who do not attempt to answer any questions in a quiz will receive 0 points.
