- No calculators will be allowed during the examinations.
- You must bring a Blue Book to each exam.
Regrade Policy: Midterm exams will be returned in the discussion sections. If you believe there might be an error in the grading and wish to have your exam regraded, you must observe the following rules:
- Return your exam immediately to your TA. Regrade requests will not be considered once the exam leaves the room.
- If you are not satisfied with the TA's response to your regrade request, you may ask for the instructor to review it. In order to do this, you must:
- Return your exam immediately to your TA and,
- ask that they forward your exam to the instructor.
Instructor review requests will not be considered once the exam leaves the room.
- Retrieve your exam during discussion section or arrange to pick it up from your TA within one week after it was made available for pickup (i.e., returned) in section. In order to be considered, regrade requests must be submitted within one week after being returned in section and prior to the day of the final.
Administrative Details: It is your responsibility to check your exam scores on Ted and contact your TA before the day of the final to resolve recording errors.
Keep all returned exams and assignments in case they are required to resolve any mistakes while recording scores.
- Questions regarding missing or incorrectly recorded exam scores will not be considered after the last day of instruction.
Grading: Your course grade will be determined by your cumulative average at the end of
the term and will be based on the following scale:
| A+ |
A |
A- |

C |
C- |
| 97 |

These scores may be adjusted slightly at the end of the quarter. Note that there are no D grades. Your cumulative average will be calculated by computing the weighted average as follows:
- 20% Homework, 20% Midterm Exam I, 20% Midterm Exam II, 40% Final Exam
OR
- 20% Homework, 20% Best Midterm, 60% Final Exam
