EXAM POLICY:

• Exams are closed book. One 81/2 by 11 sheet of paper can be used for reference to study notes. No other information is allowed.
• Palm computers and calculators will not be used unless specifically instructed to do so on the exam. Exams will be designed to test what you know about the subject matter and not how well you know your computer or calculator.
• The dates of the exams will be announced several weeks in advance so you can plan your schedule accordingly. They will be posted on this web site.
• Exams will be taken individually
• No make-up exams will be given. Out of the four required exams, only three will count toward the semester grade. Your lowest exam score will be dropped. If a student misses an exam, that exam will count as the dropped grade. This rule does not apply to the final exam.
