PLAN ACCORDINGLY.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 theMathematics Department Testing Center, PSA 21 (basement). To be admitted to the Testing Center each student must have a valid ASU "Sun Card". The testing center is open 9:00 a.m. - 6:28 p.m. M-Th , and 9:00 a.m. - 3:28 p.m. Fri. You may not enter late. Arrival before the door closes allows the student an hour and a half 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. No test score will be dropped!Makeup exams are given at the discretion of the instructor and only in the case of verified medical or other documented emergencies. Notify your instructor before the test is given if possible. Notify your instructor by phone or email ASAP. If the event is not an emergency, you must notify the instructor in advance to request a makeup.
