Final Exam will be given on Friday, June 26 at regular class time.
It will cover material from all lectures since Exam III.
If you miss the final exam, have a valid
excuse and are passing the course at the time of the final, you will be
given a grade of "I" (Incomplete) for the course, and have one year to
take the final exam. If you fail to do so, the "I" will automatically
change to an "F."
If you miss the final exam and are not passing the course at the
time of the final exam, you will receive an "F" for the course. Bottom
line: you can still salvage your grade if you at least show up. Study
hard and go for it!
THE HONOR CODE IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY HERE. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT CHEATING, YOU
WILL BE GIVEN A FINAL GRADE OF "F" FOR THE COURSE AND THE MATTER WILL BE
TURNED OVER TO TO THE HONOR COUNCIL.
