Exams 1and 2 will primarily focus on material covered from the time of the previous Exam; however the new material is cumulatively built on earlier material so you should be prepared for some revision or incorporation of earlier material. Exam 3 will include revision of the whole course.
The Pop Quizzes are 10 multiple-choice questions, concentrating on concepts and understanding rather than calculation. There are no make-ups for missed Pop Quizzes.
