Tests

There will be three tests in this class.

The approximate date for the tests will be Feb 5, Mar 5, and Apr 15. Please note, the dates and material are subject to change. Details on the tests will be formalized a week or two before the test in class.

Students who complete and understand the homework assignments before the test on the material used in that homework will have a significant advantage on the tests over students who have not done this work.

Students are expected to take the tests at the scheduled dates. Students who fail to take a test for trivial reasons will be given a score of 0. If a make-up test is given, it will not necessarily be equivalent in content or difficulty to the original test. I may, at my option, use the final exam score in place of a missed test grade.

Students may prepare a "cheat-sheet" for each test. This cheat-sheet may contain formulas, equations, and definitions. It may not contain worked problems.

Final Exam

The final exam will be comprehensive. Approximately 50% of the test will be from the material covered after the third test, the remaining questions will be drawn from the other material covered in the class.

The final exam is on Thursday May 7
