- The exams is closed book, but you may use two 8-1/2 x 11 inch or smaller sheets of original hand-written notes and equations (you may use both sides of these sheets).
photocopied, typed or computer generated notes will not be permitted. If you do not have orginal hand-written notes for the exam, you will have to take the exam without notes.

- The final exam is cumulative and will have a 2 - hour time limit.
- The final exam will not be dropped -- it is University policy that students missing a final exam will receive a grade of 0 for the course.
- At least 25% of the points on the final exam will come from modified* weekly exam problems.
- The final exam is not an online exam. The format of the exam will be multiple choice and it will be given on the MSU campus or with an appropriate proctor if you are not within reasonable travelling distance from MSU at the time of the final exam.
- If you are living or travelling far from the MSU campus at the time of the exam, beyond a reasonable commuting distance, or if you are traveling with an MSU-sponsored program, you may be able to arrange a proctored off-campus exam. Arrangements must be made well in advance of the exam. Requests made after the deadline will not be accommodated and you will have to take the exam on the MSU campus.Click here for deadlines and details for arranging off-campus exams.
- Grading scales for exams will not be curved unless there was mis-wording or an error.
*-- Modified could mean that if the original problem gave x and asked for y, the modified problem might give y and ask for x. For conceptual problems, modified could mean covering the same concept.
