Math 1323 Exam Schedule

Exam 1	Tuesday	January 29	6:30-8:30 PM
Exam 2	Tuesday	February 26	6:30-8:30 PM
Exam 3	Tuesday	April 2	6:30-8:30 PM
FINAL EXAM	Exam Period XXIV	Wednesday, May  1	3:30 - 5:30 PM

Note that the FINAL EXAM is near the end of the College's final exam schedule.  We wish it were earlier, but this schedule is created by the Dean's Office, not the Math Department.

Please make your end of semester travel reservations early; a conflicting travel reservation is not a valid excuse for missing the final. If your parents are making your travel reservations, be sure they know your exam schedule before they do it.

Usually each in-semester exam will cover the material up through what was assigned for the previous Friday.. You are responsible for all the material in the assigned sections of the text or in the corresponding lectures, unless your instructor specifically excludes something.

You should  bring your TI-83 to each exam along with several eraser-equipped pencils.  You should NOT bring any calculator  which contains a Computer Algebra System (CAS)--for example, the TI-89, TI-92, HP-48 and HP-49.. Use of a calculator with a built-in CAS during an exam will be viewed as an academic integrity violation. Any changes of policy will be announced before the exam.

You may have a single 3x5 notecard with any notes you like.  Do not bring any "scratch paper." There should be sufficient space for your work on the exam booklet.
 
 

Missed Exams

Legitimate excuses for missing an exam (such as verified illness or serious family emergencies) in all calculus courses must be approved by Professor Jack Shapiro  (Cupples I, 107B, 314-935-6787), preferably in advance.  Having one person approve excused absences for all sections of all the calculus courses helps to assure that all students receive uniform treatment.  Unexcused absences from any exam receive a score of  "0".

If you receive an excused absence from Professor Shapiro for one of the in-semester exams, you will not take a make-up exam.  Instead, a statistical formula called "multiple regression" will be used at the end of the semester to estimate your missing score based on your performance on the other three exams.  (The formula is complicated, but it takes into account the average class score on each exam and how far above or below the average you were on each exam you did take.  Therefore, you're not penalized if the exam you missed was one on which other students had high scores.)

Students who miss the final with an excuse from Professor Shapiro will need to take a make-up final at another time, probably early in the Spring semester.
 

Note:  These online files are maintained by the Math Department and Olin Library.  Some exams are available with solutions, some without, some both ways.  In setting up this webpage, we have included all the exams/solutions
we have available for recent semesters.
          Copies of some old exams are also available at the Reserve Desk on Level 2 of Olin Library.  Any exams at the Resevre Desk older than Fall 1997 (when we began using the current textbook) may not be as useful as study aids.
