Exam Information

Exam Dates--A picture ID must be shown at all exams. General Exam Rules -- You are responsible for knowing these rules for each exam.

Grading Procedure

The course grade is based on four one-hour exams and quizzes.  Exam 4 is given at final exam time. For each student, the lowest-score exam counts one-half as much as each of the other three exams. Thus the lowest exam score counts 1/8 of the grade, and the other three exam scores count 2/8 each. The quiz total counts as the remaining 1/8 of the grade.

For example, suppose your four exam scores have values A,B,C,D. The total of your quizzes is Q. If D denotes your lowest exam score, then your average will be determined by the formula:
Average = (2A + 2B + 2C + D + Q)/8.

The exams are graded by hand; work must be shown to get full credit; there are no multiple-choice questions.

The grading scheme is traditional; no plus-minus grades are given:
A  90 - 100,   B  80 - 89,   C  70 - 79,   D  60 - 69,   F  0 - 59.
