For these reasons, it's very important that you study very hard for the midterm so you will get the highest grade possible. The time you spend studying to earn a good midterm grade will not only help your average, it will increase your understanding of the material and help you move faster through the second half of your course. The Final Exam should be taken as soon as all unit exams in the course are completed. You don't have to wait until the scheduled week of Final Examinations to take the Final Exam. You can take the Final Exam early and be done before the end of the semester.
Exam Grading Each problem on an exam is worth a certain number of points.
When we grade your exam, we will take off points if the problem is not correct. If the grader feels that you missed the concept of that problem, you will lose full credit for that problem. If the grader feels that you have mastered the concept but simply made some small errors, you will be given partial credit. To receive partial credit on a test question, your work must be shown on the test paper , or if additional room is needed, on scratch paper provided by the Learning Center. Failure to show necessary work will result in the loss of all points on the test question.
