These examinations will generally involve about six or seven questions to which you are expected

to write logical responses in an examination booklet (“popularly called a blue book”). 

The 2-hour final will count as 2/5 of your grade and information about it will be provided later.

Partial credit on tests is awarded only for work that is mostly correct except for one on two minor

errors.   Partial credit is not awarded when an incorrect method is employed.   A correct answer without the

accompanying correct work will receive no credit; an incorrect final answer accompanied by mostly correct

reasoning and details will receive substantial credit.  Also, the examination responses should be logically

arranged and clearly legible.  When a paper is examined, the grade is based on the work actually shown.  

 

 

Withdrawal Policy:  A withdrawal with passing status (W) will be permitted up through Thursday,

March 1st.  After that date, withdrawal slips cannot be processed.
