Exam Policy

The Final Exam will have two parts: Part A will cover the material tested in both Midterms 1 & 2, while Part B will only contain questions related to material appearing after Midterm 2. Part A accounts for 10% of your course grade and Part B accounts for 20% of your course grade. In addition, the Part A score will replace the lowest midterm score if it is indeed higher (but not both). Makeup exams are typically not offered, except in extenuating circumstances at the discretion of your instructor. If you miss a midterm exam for some reason, then Part A of the final exam will count as your makeup. Final Part A can only replace one midterm score, however.

You will NOT be permitted calculators or other electronic devices (smart phones, smart watches, etc) on any exams. You will NOT be permitted books, notes, or “cheat sheets” on any exams. The following formula sheet will be provided on all exams: CLICK HERE.

Old Exams

For your study, exams from previous semesters are posted below. Note: course schedules change from semester-to-semester so exam coverage may not match up exactly with our exam. Make sure you know what material is covered on ours. Studying these exams alone is not sufficient. You should consult your class notes, the text, webwork, as well as the optional book problems on the course schedule.
