Tests & Final Exam
General Test Information
Four tests and a comprehensive final exam will be given during the semester.
There will be a No Calculator portion on each test and exam.
Test dates are listed in Canvas and on the Important Dates and Tentative Course Schedule page of this syllabus.
I do not drop any test scores; however, I do provide a make-up test day at the end of the semester. Please see the Make-Up Tests section below for more information.
Final Exam Information
Our Math 1A Final Exam is scheduled for Wednesday, May 24, from 7:00 – 9:45 a.m. and must be taken at this time.
(I know, that is really early and not a typo! Unfortunately, the final exam schedule is out of my control, but maybe we can have some volunteers bring donuts and coffee that day to help us all wake up!)
Make-Up Test Policy
If you know you will be absent or are ill on the day of a scheduled test, please tell me in person or e-mail me in advance of the day of the scheduled test.
You may make up a missed test during my office hours or on our Test Make-Up Day on Monday, May 22, from 10 AM - 12:45 PM in our usual classroom.
To make up a test, please speak with me or email me!
Please note that this is NOT a re-take opportunity – this policy is designed to give students who miss a test the chance to demonstrate their understanding of the material so they can earn those missing points.
Cheating and Academic Integrity:
I strongly encourage students to work together outside of class on homework assignments. During class, I also encourage students to work together on class examples and group quizzes.
However, students must do their own work on tests.
There will be some resources allowed with most tests in this class. These resources will generally be restricted to a calculator (for some parts of some tests) and a formula sheet. (These resources will be specified before each test and will be listed at the top of the test.) No other resources (such as a textbook, class notes, computer, cell phone, etc.) will be allowed.
Students who cheat or assist other students in cheating will receive no credit (0%) on that test and a report documenting the incident will be filed.
A second offense may result in permanent dismissal from the class and an F in the course.
Long story short, please don't cheat!
