Weekly Examlets


Examlets will be taken in-person through CBTF, where you can reserve a 1 hour 50 minute slot during a two-day testing window.

Before the first examlet, you must read the exam instructions. These instructions will NOT be reprinted with each examlet.

LaTeX is not required for formatting math as long as your plaintext is understandable, but it is very useful and it is not difficult to learn the basics; here is a brief guide.

The skills are the new skills for each examlet. The examlet will focus on these new skills. However, be aware that you're still expected to remember concepts from earlier in the term.

The goal of the posted rubrics is to give you an idea of what a mastered, proficient, and novice proof would look like in each of these categories. If a proof doesn't fit exactly into one of the descriptions, we will choose whichever category we feel best fits the criteria. 

The information (e.g. skills list, rubrics) for each examlet should be viewed as tentative until a week before the examlet date. We don't expect large changes but there might be small ones.

Academic Integrity Policy

The policies of the CBTF are the policies of this course, and academic integrity infractions related to the CBTF are infractions in this course. The university's guidelines on Academic Integrity can be found here

A single cheating offence on an examlet will result in a zero on the examlet in question and lowering your final course grade by a whole letter grade. 

A second cheating offence will typically result in a failing grade.
