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 exams and quizzes. If you miss a midterm for unforeseen reasons beyond your control, please contact me as soon as possible.

No calculators are allowed in any of the exams.
