method of evaluation ---

Students will receive up to 4 midterms, 1 final exam. The actual number of midterms will be determined by majority by students.

As always review sessions are encouraged but will be scheduled out of class by students. I am up for anything short of telling students what will be on the exam so use your imagination and don't forget to invite me.
