Midterm Exams:Three midterm tests will be given at the dates and times shown in the syllabus. The tests will be administered during regular class time. The tests will consist of multiple choice questions. Important: No makeup midterm exams will be given. Missed exams receive a grade of zero unless an excused absence is granted by the professor before the exam. In the unusual circumstance that an exam is excused, the remaining exams will be averaged to form the midterm exam score for final grading. This is only allowed to happen once. Exam policy: The use of calculators is permitted for performing numerical calculations. The exams are closed book, closed notes. Either an equation sheet will be provided with each exam or you will be allowed to bring in one sheet of equations but not both. This will be decided on the first day of class or soon thereafter. No additional electronic or internet resources, etc. are allowed to be used. here. |

Problems with Clickers. We will not
consider giving credit or changing individual
students' clicker grades when any of the following
happens: forgotten or stolen clicker, ineffective or
somehow not working clicker, weak batteries, or other
occurances thought to result in your response not
being recorded electonically. We account for these
missed opportunities by giving you free misses as
discussed in the previous paragraph. This is
important. No allowances will be given to
students who, for whatever reason, do not use
their clicker in class.
It is your responsibility to bring the clicker to every
class and maybe even to have extra batteries. If you
lose your clicker, you should obtain a new one ASAP,
register it, and give your new transmitter number to
your professor. No credit will be granted in the
mean time.
Policy on using someone else's transmitter. It will be considered an honor offense to use another student's transmitter in class. Any student who sees another student use two transmitters, for example, should challenge the student and report it as an honor offense.
