Note
that these dates are the quiz/exam DEADLINES, you
MUST take the quizzes/exams by the date shown.  You can however take any quiz/exam as
early as you would like (so you can be done with this course as soon as you
have learned the material).  The
answers to the online quizzes will be posted after the deadline.

Quizzes
will be taken online using the Desire 2 Learn website (see "Using
D2L" below).  Each quiz is
worth 10 points.  If you fail a
quiz you may retake the quiz.  You
are allowed one retake for each of the four quizzes.

The
final exam will be taken in person at Anoka
Ramsey Community
College – either Coon Rapids
or Cambridge
campuses (if you are not within an acceptable distance from an ARCC campus,
please contact me for further instructions).  You are allowed three attempts on the
final exam, your grade will be based on the average
score of the final exams you choose to take.  So if, for example, you take the first
attempt at the final exam and earn a 95% and you decide that this is a high
enough score for you then you can choose not to take the second and third
attempts and your final exam score will be 95%.  If however, you earn 75% on your first
attempt at the final exam and want to aim for a higher score you could choose
to take the second attempt at the final exam.  Say you earn 86% on your second
attempt, then your final exam score would be 80.5%
(since the average of 75% and 86% is 80.5%).  If you decide that 80.5% is a high
enough score for you then you could choose NOT to take the third attempt.  However, if you still want to aim for
a higher score then you could choose to take the third attempt.  Say you earn 92% on your third attempt
then your final exam score would be 84.3% (since the average of 75%, 86%, and
92% is 84.3%)

ARCC
