/---- Microquizzes -------------------------------------------------\
  There will be some small number of &ldquo;pop&rdquo;  (unannounced) microquizzes, each
worth 30points.  These will never occur on religious holidays; please
EMAIL of such holidays THIS WEEK.
  Usually, a pop-quiz has a single, easy question.  I use them primarily
for attendance, or checking that an idea from the previous class
caught on.  
  <STRONG>Important:</STRONG>: I <EM>drop</EM> the lowest microquiz score.  AND: There
is <EM>No Makeup</EM> for the first missed quiz; that is what the dropped-score is for.

  Under <EM>rare</EM> circumstances, I /may/ give you a makeup for a later
missed quiz, if you have a good reason for missing.

I usually give a microquiz <EM>the classday after an exam day.</EM>  Also, there
<EM>will</EM> be microquizzes on: Fri.27Feb., Mon.9Mar.
There will <EM>not</EM>  be a microquiz on Fri.3Apr. (1st night Passover).

/---- CP grades  ------------------------------------------\
  There is a subjective class-participation (CP) grade of 45points
for each of Jan., Feb., Mar., Apr., 45+45+45+30 = 165points.
It is based on posting to our Archive, on class attendence, on lively 
participation in class.

  There is <EM>no</EM> final exam.  Rather, there will be
an <EM>Optional</EM> Individual Final-Project, that must be typed.  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 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.
