Exams

Including our final, there will be a total of three exams that determine the course grade.

These dates do not coincide with any religious holiday which causes suspension of New York City's alternate side parking regulations; see NYC Parking Calendar. Please discuss other conflicts with me well in advance of the exam in question.
