Examinations:

There will be three examinations in the course including the final exam. Each exam (including the final) will be counted equally. The exams will consist of multiple choice, essay, and problem questions. Study questions will be provided to help prepare for the exams. Plus and minus grade options will be used in the class.

The first two exams are tentatively scheduled for October 8 and November 12. The midterm exams may be scheduled to begin at 8:00 AM instead of the usual 8:30 AM time. The final examination (8:30-10:30 AM, Thursday, December 18 in the regular classroom) will be non-comprehensive. One class will be dismissed to compensate for the extra, out-of-class time required for the exams.

Students enrolled for graduate credit are expected to complete a paper on a topic related to the material in the class. The details of the paper will be worked out on an individual basis with each student. The paper will be due the last day of class.
