The place of the final exam will be announced later in the semester, especially, since some instructors have more than one sections and will need a lecture hall to administer the final exam. Midterm Exams: You will take three exams during the semester. Each will involve a mix of mechanical skills and conceptual reasoning. The best possible preparation for them is regular attendance and completion of assigned homework. * These exams are taken outside of class time in the Mathematics Department Testing Center, in PSA 21 (basement). * To be admitted to the Testing Center each student must have a valid ASU "Sun Card". * The testing center is open 10:360 a.m. - 8:45 p.m. M-Th. Make sure you arrive before 7:00 p.m. The testing center will not allow late entry. Arrival before the door closes allows the student an hour and forty five minutes to complete the test. * Students should complete exams as early as possible during the allotted time frame, since the center can get extremely busy in the afternoons. * Your calculator memory may be viewed during any exam and will be cleared if anything suspicious is noted. The instructor has the right to regard finding suspicious material in your calculator memory as cheating.

If the event is not an emergency, you must notify the instructor in advance to request a makeup. No test will be dropped! Homework, Quizzes & Projects: * Students are expected to read relevant sections of the textbook prior to attending class. * Homework, quizzes, and projects will be graded.
