The course grades will be available on-line through MyInfo after noon
on May 7
I have posted the grades on my door by student number.
I am in my office between 9-11am on Wednesday if you want your final
exam back
Otherwise try again Thursday between 1-2pm.
Final

Content:
summarized at bottom of
website along with
practice problems
You
may
have ONE two sided sheet of notes. No electronic devices.
People
who have three exams on Monday or have another exam at
exactly
the same time will have their exam times rescheduled by me.
There
are no other exceptions.

Grading: The course % is determined by:
Midterm 1 M1 100 Midterm 2 M2 100 Final F 100 Quizzes Q 100 _______________________________ 400 % = (M1+M2+F+HW)/4
The final is not comprehensive. Six quizzes each worth 20 points will be given. Your best 5 quiz scores determine Q above.
Exam and quizz dates are indicated on the schedule below. Their content will be announced in class.
All exams and quizzes are closed book and no electronic devices are permitted. All exams including the Final will be given in class: Wil 1-144
