All students are expected to take exams during the scheduled time slots. With the permission of the instructor, you may be allowed to take an exam at an alternate time. However, you must request this rescheduling at least 2 weeks prior to the exam date. Exceptions will naturally be made for sudden problems such as serious illnesses/injury. Since the exam schedule is being published at the beginning of the semester, scheduling conflicts (e.g., job interviews, GREs, etc.) are not legitimate reasons to miss an exam.
All exams will be comprehensive. In principle, everything discussed in class, appearing in lecture notes, in the required reading, or assigned in homework/projects is a potential source of exam questions.
The midterm exam is scheduled for Tuesday, Mar 10 during the regular class period in 1105 Siebel Center.
As indicated in the Spring 2009 Timetable, our final exam will be at 7:00-10:00 PM, Thursday, May 14 in 1EH-106B8.
The final will be comprehensive, with roughly 1/3 of the material devoted to material covered prior to the midterm.
Students are not required to take more than 2 final exams in the same 24 hour period. If your scheduled finals exceed this limit, you are entitled to take a conflict exam. You should request to schedule a conflict exam in the largest of the conflicting classes.
To request a conflict exam for CS 418, you must contact us before the end of the day on April 30th. We will not grant conflict requests after that date.
