Quizzes

The quizzes are administered in-person during the scheduled Thursday lecture times (5-8 minutes of "buffer" time will be provided at the end to ease the time burden, depending on whether or not there is a class right afterward in the lecture hall). These are closed-book and closed-note, though scientific calculators may be allowed depending on the quiz contents (we will try to keep any necessary computations small).
