The quizzes for this class are "Whiz Quizzes," which you will take online. The threshhold is set to 70%, meaning that no grades below that are reported and once you have achieved at least that score, whatever you achieve (70% or better) is recorded as your grade. Quizzes are worth a maximum of 5 points each; I will drop the three lowest scores (or as many as there might end up being over the six that will be counted) . Any quizzes taken after the class period on the day the quiz is due will receive no higher than half credit. Be sure to click on the "Submit for grading" button at the bottom of the quiz!
