Exams will generally be returned in lecture. You will be required to present a picture ID to collect your exams in my office. Midterm III and the Final will be available in my office no earlier than one week after the exams are taken. The third midterm will be concurrent with the final exam. The lowest exam score will not be dropped.
All exams carry equal weight.
Letter grades are not assigned for individual exams. Midterm exams are worth 100 points each. This reason must be presented before the exam is given, except for serious medical emergencies. In all cases, be prepared to provide documentation to verify your reason for missing the exam. The curve varies from quarter to quarter and from course to course.
