Type of Final Examination: Comprehensive

 Notes:

• You are expected to attend every class session, and your final grade will be reduced one-half letter grade for each unexcused absence beyond the third unexcused absence.
• Late assignments will be marked down 10% for each day late, up to a maximum of 50%.
• You may bring one sheet of 8.5" by 11" paper, with any formulas or other helpful information, to each examination.
