Math 127 (Fall 2021) Policies: Exam Policy

This course will have one midterm exam and a final exam. The midterm exam will be during the evening (I will compensate you for this time by canceling a class day after the exam). The evening period gives more flexibility for extra time, if needed, and provides better opportunities to handle those with special needs. Students in the past have found the evening exams to be preferable to in-class ones. See the course calendar for the dates of exams.

You are responsible for knowing the precise definitions, statements of theorems, and algorithms that we cover in class. You may be asked to reproduce these on exams, or to perform an algorithm by hand.

You are expected to know how to do all the problems from the homework that have been assigned, even if we didn't go over them in class. If you didn't get the problem right on a homework, it is even more important that you work out the solution before the exam. If you have questions about a problem, be sure to ask them before the exam.

You are expected to be able to recognize the notation and terminology that we have been using in class without further explanation on the exams.

Copies of the best solutions will be made available on our Nexus web site, as will any solution that I write up myself. If I circle a problem number in red on an assignment that you turn in, that means I have made a copy of your answer and placed it in that collection (this is just for your information). See the discussion about solutions for more information.

See the discussion of the grading policy for the percentage of your grade that will come from your quizzes and exams.

If you have a learning disability for which you should receive extra time on exams, you must arrange with me for how we will handle that by Friday of the second week of class.
