Exam policy:
It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not have a schedule conflict involving the final examination.
You should not enroll in this class if you cannot sit for the final examination at its scheduled time.
There are no make-up exams for any reason. Nor do we allow alternate times for taking exams. (If you have a documented disability or must miss the exam for a university sponsored activity, then arrangements can be made using the standard procedures.)
Exams are open textbook, and you can rewatch lectures and review slides. You are also allowed to use a scientific or graphing calculator. Keep in mind that any computations on exams must be supported by clear explanations. Simply writing down a numerical answer without any justification or work will receive 0 points, even if the numerical answer is correct.
You are not allowed to consult other people or resources on the internet. In particular, contract cheating and other instances of academic dishonesty can result in suspension or dismissmal. According to the Academic Integrity Office,
About 15% of students reported for cheating are suspended or dismissed from UCSD.
