For the class text polls:
Participation, not correct answers, is what counts.
If you have bad phone reception, you may submit your answers on a sheet of paper at the end of each class.
I will ultimately need some identifying information to collate the answers with people.
You get three free misses. So if you miss three classes with polls but answer all the others you will receive 100%. University excused absences count for these three misses. So, if you miss two classes up through March and then get sick and miss three excused classes, that counts as five misses. Plan accordingly or allocate zero credit to this portion of the grade.
If you do not submit an allocation the default will be: Homework = 10%, polls = 0%, Project = 20%, Exam 1 and 2 = 20% each and Final exam = 30%.
