- Exam Schedule:
| Class Exam 1 Feb. 06 | Class Exam 2 March 13 | Class Exam 3 April 17 |
| Final Exam April 26 @ 9:00AM |
- Examination requirement:
You must take three of the class exams plus the final. You may take all 4 class exams during the semester. If you take all 4 class exams, the lowest grade is eliminated before your semester grade is computed. If you take all 4 class exams you must still take the final. THERE ARE NO MAKE-UP CLASS EXAMS. If you have a conflict between a class exam and a religious holiday--talk to Dr. Ray in the first week of the semester. Bring your ID Card and one No.2 pencil with you to the final. The regular final will be given on Thursday April 26th @ 9:00 AM. There will be NO ALTERNATE FINAL EXAM.
- Exam Content:
Each class exam contains 70 multiple-choice questions covering the assigned reading material, videos, and the lectures since the previous exam. There are a total of 100 multiple-choice questions on the final exam. The final exam will be cumulative, and all of the questions will come from the book.- Other Important Things:
- If you wish to discuss or dispute or debate your score or grade on an exam, you must do it with the TA and then, if necessary, with me, before the next scheduled exam. Copies of student answer sheets from each exam are destroyed two days before the next exam. (Those from the final are destroyed during the second week of the next semester). If you wish to review your answer sheet (and/or your test score for an exam), you must do so before the answer sheet is destroyed.
- Low Grade on an Exam - If you receive a grade of F on any of the first three class exams, you must call and make an appointment to talk with me in my office the week after the posting ofthe grades.
B. Laboratory Experience
You will be given material which explains quite well the laboratory requirement for this course. You must complete the laboratory requirement or the letter grade turned in at the end of the semester will be one full letter gradel ower than that earned on the exams. E.g., if you earned a B+ on the exams but did not complete the Laboratory Requirement, a grade of C+ will be your semester grade. Do not worry about what is posted -i.e., the number of experiments with which you are credited - during the semester. If you are not credited with the correct number of experiments in which you have participated by the last day of class, please contact Dr. Smith at 2-0065 or Cynthia Barrett at 2-2874. Neither the teaching assistants, front office staff, nor I have any knowledge of the experimental credits.C. Vanderbilt Chips
To pass this course you must earn at least 2 VANDERBILT CHIPS over the course of the semester. Chips can be earned by asking or answering content (not administrative) questions in class. Chips can also be earned by meeting with the Teaching Assistant during the office hours. When you have accumulated 2 chips, put them in an envelope with your name printed on it and hand it to the T.A. beforeor after class. Failure to obtain 2 chips has the same effect on grades as failure to meet the Laboratory Requirement.D. Honor Code
You must follow the Vanderbilt Honor Code. The rules for Vanderbilt are the same as they are for life: You don't use something belonging to,or created by, someone else without asking them and then attributing the idea/material to the originator. You don't ask for, take, or accept help from another person in completing a task which will be evaluated as your personal product. You don't give or receive help in an exam. You don't let someone else's ideas or work get passed off as your own. You don't cheat, lie, or steal; you don't borrow without asking permission and then giving credit.E. Course Evaluation
Course and Teaching Assistant evaluations need to be completed. These evaluations are very important and helpful to the Dean, so please make an effort to come to class that day with one No. 2 pencil.
