Please note in the syllabus that I have increased the number of quizzes you will take to 20. That increases the quiz portion of your overall grade to 40 percent. It also reduces the portion of your overall grade toward which the midterm and final will count. The midterm is now worth 20 percent of your grade. The final is worth 25 percent.
