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.

Exam 3 (Take Home) is out of 40 points, and our final exam will also be out of 40 points. They will bear a striking resemblence to each other. Answer as many or as few questions as you like on this take home exam. If you answer all eight questions, then this exam will be averaged with your final exam. If you answer fewer questions, then the contribution from this exam will be scaled. For example, if you answer two questions, then this take home exam will be worth 5 points, and the final exam will be worth 35 points.

Please return Exam 3 (Take Home) to our TA, Sonja Mapes, by May 8.
