A quiz will be administered approximately every three weeks. Each will have a value of 20 points for a total (5 X 100) of 100 possible quiz points. The student will be allowed 30 minutes to complete each quiz. Structurally, each will contain five short-answer questions (3 points/question) and five multiple-guess questions (1 point/question). The minimum performance level for students who are desirous of a C is 70% correct, 80% for a B, and 90% for an A. The quizzes will be evaluated in class. Those students who fail to achieve a desired grade will be able to take a make-up quiz during the following class period.
Two reaction papers will be required. The papers will be two to three pages in length. They will be word processed or typed. Each will have a value of 25 points. Topics for the two papers will be suggested as the events of the Fall of 2008 unfold.

After midterm faculty cannot withdraw a student. Lastly, student initiated withdrawal must be completed prior to 5 pm on the last day to withdraw as published in the Parkland Class Schedule.
