Third and Final Exam |
|
| Each exam counts as 33 1/3 % of the total grade. Homework assignments will be used to decide borderline grades. Late homework will not be accepted. If you miss an exam you will be allowed to take a makeup exam only if you contacted me prior to the regularly scheduled exam with a reason that I can accept. |
