Final Exam

grade	A+	A	A-	B+	B-	C+	C-	D	F
cutoff	184	163	150	140	119	108	86	60

Calculators, books, or notes may not be used during exams.

The two in-class exams will be worth 100 points each. Make-up exams are rarely given.

The two-hour Final Exam will be worth 200 points. It will be based on the entire course but will emphasize later material not covered on previous exams.

If class is cancelled for any reason on the day of a scheduled in-class exam then that exam will take place the next time the class meets. If the scheduled final exam is cancelled for any reason then the University will reschedule it.

If you miss the Final Exam, and if by the next day you present a legitimate, well-documented excuse showing that for reasons beyond your control it was absolutely impossible for you to take the Final Exam, and if you have a passing grade at the time of the Final Exam, then you will receive a grade of ``I'' for the course. In all other cases a score of zero will be assigned for the Final Exam and your course grade evaluated accordingly.
