/---- GRADES: The number of points below are approximate --\
  Prereq exam: 90 points

  Three in-class exams, each about 200points.

  There will be some number of "pop" (unannounced) microquizzes, each
worth 30points.  These will never occur on religious holidays; please
EMAIL of such holidays THIS WEEK.
  Usually pop-quiz has a single, easy question.  I use them primarily
for attendance, or checking that an idea from the previous class
caught on.  IMPORTANT: I drop the lowest microquiz score.  AND: There
is /NO MAKEUP/ for the first missed quiz, regardless of reason.
Under rare circumstances, I /might/ give you a makeup for a later
missed quiz, if you have a good reason for missing.

  There is a subjective class-participation (CP) grade of 45points
for each of Sept., Oct., Nov.+Dec., 45x3 = 135points.

  There is /no/ final exam.  Rather, there will be an /optional/
individual final-project, that must be typed.  If you choose to do
it, it is due on the Friday after the last day of class, by noon.
It can lift or lower your grade by "one click"; a grade of "B" could
become a "B+", or stay a "B" or, if the project is terrible, drop to a "B-".

  Shortly before the Withdraw date, 24Nov., I will give you an
estimate of your course-grade, from which you can decide if you want
to do the optional final-project.
\__________________________________________________________/

HOMEWORK: I do not collect written HW.  Rather, a substantial part of
your CP grade comes from your posting solutions to the Archive.  These
are not typically assigned; it depends on your own energy and motivation.
  I will email the URL of the Archive to each student.
