EXAM POLICY: Students are to bring pencils or pens, and paper to each exam. Grading will be based on progress towards the final

answer, and the demonstration of understanding of the concept that is being tested, therefore, work must be shown in detail.

The more you show me with steps and detail, the better your chances for partial credit. Any student who cannot make it to

an exam may elect to take the exam up to two days before the exam is scheduled. If all homework assignments are turned

in for the quarter, an non more than three assignments are late, then the midterm with the lowest score will be dropped.
