Exam and Grading Policy

• There four exams of 1.5 hours. You do not have to hand in homework. However, each exam will be primarily based on the homework so if you have done the homework you should do well on the exams. No calculators will be allowed during the exams. You may bring one page of note (8.5 x 11) both sides.

• There will be a make up exam for the final exam. For the four 1.5 hour tests there will be no make up exam. If you have a valid reason for missing an exam you will receive the adjusted grade you get on the final for that exam. (Adjusted means taking into account the variation in scores from exam to exam).

• You will get your exams back in recitation. If you think your exam has not been graded correctly you should take it to your recitation leader during or after class. DO NOT WRITE ON YOUR EXAM. On a separate sheet paper indicate why you think your exam was incorrectly graded. Once you have had the exam in your posession outside of class or if you have written on your exam you no longer can have your exam regraded. For example, if a friend picks up your exam for you you forfeit the right to have your exam regraded. If you are ill and can not go to recitation see your TA during office hours or at the following recitation.
