If you miss an exam because of an illness or other emergency you must contact the Professor prior to the scheduled time of the exam in order to be eligible to take a special exam. The final exam will include 50 points of comprehensive questions as well as 100 points covering the last section of material. There will be two group co-leaders identified as well as 2 to 3 members. Groups will be no larger than 5 to 6 total students. Each group is expected to have at least one 2 hour meeting per week.
Group co-leaders are responsible for scheduling meetings and leading discussions.
Any group leaders that have a member score in the 90's will receive ALL possible points regardless of if the new score is higher than the previous score. If the group member attends ALL group meetings and actively participates they will receive all possible points. The best approach to success in this course will be to come to class each day prepared for the scheduled lecture topic. This will be best accomplished by reading the appropriate chapter in the text immediately prior to the lecture. Any requests for special considerations relating to attendance, pedagogy, taking of examinations, etc. must be discussed with and approved by the instructor.
