Test Policy:

Scheduled quizzes will be given approximately every other Monday or Tuesday in recitations (exact dates are given on the syllabus). Quizzes and exams must be taken on their scheduled date unless you have cleared with your recitation TA at least 24 hours prior to the quiz or exam that you will be missing it for a valid reason. Your recitation TA will make the final determination as to what constitutes a "valid reason". All quizzes are weighted equally, and no makeup quizzes will be given.
