+== Lab 4 posted ==

+== Quiz 3 and 4 ==
+Quiz 3 and 4 will now take place simultaneously on Thursday, Feb 12.
+The quizzes will be based on the review problem set, posted below.  If you need a copy, please drop by my office.
+Quiz 3 will be based on problems from Chapter 4, and Quiz 4 will be based on problems from Chapters 6 and 7.
+----
+== Grade Calculation Changes ==
+As mentioned in class, grade calculation has been slightly changed.  The "lab" component of your grade will now be calculated as follows: your best three of the four labs will be assigned a weight of 5.33% each, and your worst of the four labs will be dropped from your grade.
+In practice, this means Lab 4 is still optional, since not handing it in will give you a grade of zero, which will guarantee that it will be dropped from your grade.  However, you might also choose not to hand in Labs 2 or 3, or you can hand in all the labs to ensure that your best work of the four is chosen.
+----
+== Quizzes 3 and 4 ==
+Quizzes 3 and 4 will be held simultaneously on Tuesday, February 10.  These will be review quizzes, to help you get caught up, focusing only on material from before the break.
+----
+== Review Problem Set ==
