Gaming concerns

Class,

Have received concerns regarding quiz taking and I agree with these concerns.

The unfortunate fact is that people (yup, even ISB grads) might be tempted to game the system if allowed an opportunity. And by allowing people (and quite a lot of them) take quizzes with other sections when they are late etc, maybe I unwittingly created such an opportunity.

So plz note, there will be no such exceptions made for quiz 2. None, period. The concerned students should be more concerned about a 5% course grade in the quiz than my worrying about it more than them, I would think. I have to get out of this mold of thinking like a grad student and should start thinking more like a faculty now.... at least in these matters.

Again, there will be no more flexibility in project deadlines like the one granted this time.

Also, quiz scores will be normalized by section because the quiz papers differ by section. What that means is that the highest score for section A will be the 100% mark for section A and so on.
