Notes
-
The final will be closed book and notes,
but you may bring one sheet of letter-sized paper with your own
hand-written notes. You may write on both sides.
-
The final can not be made up except for real emergencies in which case
proper documentation (like a doctor's note) will
be required. If at all possible, you should contact me prior to the midterm.
Oversleeping, cars that don't start etc. do not constitute a valid excuse.
-
Calculators,
PDAs, cell phones, etc. are not allowed.
-
Like the midterm,
the final will consist of a number of questions of equal weight.
The lowest question score will be dropped.
