EXAMS

• For each exam, you should bring a #2 pencil, a calculator for numerical calculations (graphing calculators are permitted) and a picture ID. Consider also bringing an eraser.

• There will be three 1 hour midterm exams. The exams will be closed book, but you may bring one 8-1/2 x 11 inch or smaller sheet of hand-written notes and equations (you may cover both sides of the sheet). These sheets cannot be shared. Midterm exam questions will be both numeric and conceptual.

• Each in-class exam will be followed by a partial-credit exam solved under Loncapa. (The partial-credit midterm consists of the same problems as the in-class exam, just with different data.) By solving the partial-credit exam, a student can increase his midterm score by 21%*(partial-credit score - in-class score). There will be no other make-up exams.

• A midterm will be on material read up to and including the week that preceeds the midterm. The emphasis will be on the new not yet tested material.

• If you require special arrangements for testing, to accommodate a disability, please discuss that with me during the first week of class. You can go to the Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities site www.rcpd.msu.edu to find out about the services which MSU offers to students with disabilities.

• If you have problems controlling test anxiety, note that you have access to free professional counseling services provided by MSU. To make an appointment, call at 355-8270 (TTY users call 353-7278) between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM (M-F). The counseling offices are located at Rm. 207 in the Student Services Building. You can learn more about their services at www.couns.msu.edu .
