6)  Your college grade – will be assessed by total points earned vs total points available for each Module  ;  Exercises / Questions that are eliminated – those points will be distributed to the other exercises within the module.

Finally – I am very concerned about cellphone use during class time. They are distractor, they create a loss of focus and concentration.  I find it hard to be sympatric to your questions and concerns when I see people using their phone / music/ game device during class time.
