Quizzes Policy (added Nov 05):

There will be two quizzes given in class at some time (not disclosed) between  11/08 and 11/25. Quizzes will contain problems similar to problems on previous tests and their grade will be averaged with tests' grades in ratio 80% (test) to 20% (quiz). Quizzes will be graded with no partial credit given.

Example.
Suppose Johnny got on Test 1 70% and on Test 2 60% and on both quizzes 100%. His "new grade" from test 1 will be 0.8 * 0.7 + 0.2 * 1 = 0.76, test 2 will be 0.8 * 0.6 +0.2 * 1 =  0.68
