The lowest quiz grade may be replaced by the final exam grade if helpful. (This privilege applies only to those students who take all three quizzes.) The final exam grade will automatically be substituted for a missed quiz. (No make-up exams will be given). No late homework will be accepted. Plagiarized homework (from another student or the solutions manual) will result in an automatic zero for all parties involved. Class attendance will be considered in the assignment of final grades for borderline situations.
