Each of the midterm examinations will account for 20% of the course grade. The material to be covered on each midterm will be announced in class and listed here and on the announcements page approximately a week before each exam.

Make-up Examinations:
Make-up examinations will be allowed under extraordinary circumstances only (as determined by the professor), e.g., illness (as verified by a physician), or personal tragedy. Make-up midterms usually will be one-hour oral examinations.

If an examination conflicts with an approved University function (e.g., if you are a member of a varsity athletic team or TBDBITL and are required to leave town), you may take an exam earlier than the scheduled date, provided that you obtain permission from the professor at least a week in advance.

If you should miss the final examination, your course grade will be recorded as a failure unless you contact Dr. Peterson (by phone, if necessary) before noon on Wednesday, 12 March and arrange to take the final at the beginning of Spring Quarter - in this case you will receive a grade of incomplete.
