How do I know what to study for the quiz/test?

99.9% of everything you will be quizzed or tested on is straight 
from the study guide/notes and maps. As long as you study those,
you should be in good shape!

How much is taken off for late work?

The amount of points I take off correlates to the  percentage/weight I give the assignment. 
Homework is half off if one day late, no credit after two. This is because we have a large number of
homework assignments. Notebooks have ten points taken off if turned in late.
