Which of the above
intervals contains your overall percentage, and nothing else determines your
grade. You get what you get!
All midterms and final are closed-book tests.
Formulae sheets and scientific calculator are allowed. The midterm
tests are cumulative in nature. The solution
to a problem should be written bearing in mind that you are communicating to a
reader (me, in this case). Thus an answer should guide the reader toward the
solution. Final exam is three hours long and is held during the
exam period.
There will be no
make-up tests; if you have a medical reason for missing a midterm, then you must
provide me with a written request to be excused, and this must include a note
from a physician. In most cases, your score on the comprehensive part of the
final exam will be used in place of the missed work. If you have a question or
concern about an assigned mark, please bring it to my attention within
2
calendar days of the date when the midterm is returned to the class. I will
always answer your questions, but after
2 days I won’t change
your mark.
Class etiquette: Use of cell phones (including text
messaging, answered or unanswered ringing etc.), laptops, pagers, blackberries and most other electronic gizmos during
class is highly inappropriate and disrespectful to both the
instructor
and fellow students. Chit chat with neighbors, even when whispered, is equally
unacceptable.
