Evaluation: Tests and quizzes occur at least every two weeks; includes both multiple choice
and free response formats. Approximately forty minutes of readings and problems from the
text are --assigned nightly. Homework is an integral component of the course and must be
completed regularly. (A significant amount of work utilizes internet components.)
Course grade distribution is as follows:
Tests and Quizzes 60%
