Registration for February term begins December 16.
I will give midterm reports next week.
So far, we have done two quizzes and two tests.
Quizzes X/3 X/3
Tests X/6 X/6
e.g. Quiz#1 4/6, 2/3
Quiz#2 2/6, 1/3
Test#1 3.5/6
Test#2 4/6
2+1+3.5+4= 10.5 divided by 18 (3+3+6+6)= 58%
Plus one bonus point from the first day.
We will continue to do quizzes and tests every week until the end.
The more quizzes and tests we do, the better it is for you.
I will talk to each of you next week about your midterm marks.
