Exams

There will be two midterm exams throughout the semester. They will be during normal class hours.

During the first midterm, you will be allowed one reference sheet. During the second midterm and the final exam, you will be allowed two reference sheets.

Note

The Registrar has determined this to be 1900 - 2200 hrs on 05/09 in ECEB 4070.

Reference sheets must be on an 8.5 in. by 11 in. sheet of paper. This paper size is typically called ‘Letter’ paper. Both sides may be used, but reference sheets must be handwritten.

In this course the use of calculators or electronic devices (cell phones or others) will not be allowed during examinations. If you are found using one, it will be investigated as potential cheating.

Exam make-up policy

The testing schedule for this course is available from the very first day of class.

There are no make-up midterm exams for any reason.

The reasoning for this is similar to that which concerns the homework policy.

However, we recognize that severe illness, family emergencies or unforeseen circumstances may prevent you from taking an exam. For this reason, you are allowed to drop one exam with appropriate documentation (submitted as soon as possible, but not later than one week after the missed exam) and the final exam percentage will replace your missed exam. Please note that a missed exam without proper documentation cannot be considered a dropped exam. You must attend the final unless you are seeking an incomplete.

Policy concerning the final exam will follow the student code.
