Exams
There will be two in-class midterms and a
final.
There will be no makeup exams, and no alternative times for exams.
If you have an official reason that prevents you from attending a
midterm,
you must contact me by e-mail before the exam takes place, and
you must receive a response giving you permission to miss
the midterm. Your course grade will then be determined by your
performance on the
remaining midterm and the final.
If you miss a midterm for unforseen reasons beyond
your control, please contact me as soon as possible.
No calculators are
allowed in any of the
exams.
