Grading Policy and Exam Dates

There will be three midterm exams of 50 minutes each, held in class. You do not have to hand in homework. However, each midterm exam will be based on the homework so if you have done the homework you should do well on the midterm exams. No calculators will be allowed during the midterm exams. You may bring only one page of note (8.5 x 11) both sides. No books or notebooks allowed during the midterm exams.

Rules regarding missed exams. There will be a make up exam only for the final exam. For the three midterm exams there will be no make up exams. Only if you have a valid reason for missing a midterm exam, such as a note from a physician, you will receive the adjusted grade for the missed midterm exam. The adjusted grade for the missed midterm exam will be computed from the score you get for that portion on the final exam.

You will get your midterm exams back in recitation. If you think your midterm exam has not been graded correctly you should take it to your recitation leader during or right after recitation. DO NOT WRITE ON YOUR EXAM. On a separate sheet paper indicate why you think your exam was incorrectly graded. Once you have had the midterm exam in your posession outside of class or if you have written on your midterm exam you no longer can have your midterm exam regraded. For example, if a friend picks up your midterm exam for you, you forfeit the right to have your midterm exam regraded. If you are ill and can not go to recitation see you TA during office hours or at the following recitation.
