All exams will be held in class. The final exam will cover the entire course material but focus slightly more on the post-exam 3 portion. No make-up exams will be given. Only exceptions are medical emergencies (physician certificate required). Exams will be closed book/notes with up to 2 pages of formulae (alone) allowed for Exam 1, 2 and 3 and up to 8 pages of formulae (alone) allowed for the Final Exam General Policies: Please bring your textbook and calculator to every class. No mobile phone use allowed in the class. Please silence and put away your mobile phone before class starts. No use of laptops or tablets other than for note-taking (writing, rather than typing, is strongly recommended for taking notes due to the pervasive use of equations). No eating or drinking in the class. No private conversations or any other means of class disruption is allowed in the class. All students are expected to adhere to the ODU Honor Code and Honor Pledge as outlined in the ODU Code of Student Conduct. Students are expected to not leave the class before the end of the class, unless permission is sought from the instructor beforehand.
