Previous exams were written with a different textbook in mind.

Book bags, totes, or purses should be closed and on the floor during the exam. 11) At the first exam, several students entered information incorrectly on the scantron answer sheets; incorrect spelling of names, wrong ID numbers, and wrong section numbers. It causes many problems when information is entered in the math department’s data incorrectly. 12) Be aware; if you bring an unapproved calculator to the exam, you may have to complete the exam without a calculator. Be sure you have a one-line scientific calculator. Check with your instructor, if in doubt. The math department recommends a TI-30XA calculator. 13) A student must contact the course coordinator, Charlotte Bailey, in MATH 802 (496-3145 or [email protected]) IMMEDIATELY, if some emergency prevents him/her from taking the exam.
