• The topic will be the lesson of the previous class.
• Type of questions will be multiple choice with work to show for mathematical problems.
• There will be no make up for the quiz.
• There will be no quiz on the days after the midterm exams.
Home Work:
• There will be one HW each week.
• You have to upload the HW in the blackboard at the assigned area.
