The style of instruction is based on "Second Chance Grading" due to Oscar E. Fernandez (doi.org/10.1080/10511970.2020.1772915). You will be graded on each "topic," the grade of which will be the maximum of your score between the topic's quiz and the Second Chance exam (see syllabus below).
We will be using the free textbook "Contemporary Mathematics." Access Textbook (via openstax.org).
