There
will be three examinations counting 100 points each and one final worth 200
points. I DO NOT GIVE MAKEUP EXAMINATIONS. If you miss one exam,
regardless of the reason, it will count as your lowest grade and will be
dropped. All examinations are given in
a multiple choice format. The final examination
