ExamPolicy

Missed Exams : If you are unable to take one of Exams E1-E3 for legitimate reasons ( such as verified illness or serious family emergency ) you will not be given a make-up exam . You first need to explain to me why you missed the exam and if everything is in order you will get an excused absence . Your grade for the missed exam will be calculated by a statistical proceedure which uses your scores on the other taken exams, including the Final. If the only exam you miss is the Final Exam , and for that you receive an excused absence, then you must take a make-up Final exam at the begining of the Fall semester 2006.

Policy for taking exams :

You should always bring your Washington University Photo ID to exams ; proctors will check student ID's .

Scientific calculators (meaning those with NO graphing or computer algebra capabilities) will be allowed on the Exams and Quizzes.

Just before each exam you can look up your exam room assignment on the web (see above exam schedule, "check here on exam day" ) . The room will probably not be your regular classroom, and it may change for each exam. You will be allowed to enter the exam room a few minutes before the starting time to locate your seat, on which you will find a personalized exam booklet with your name printed on it in large letters.

EXAM RETURNS : There will be a short time after each exam is graded when you can look at your graded exam in the Math Office ( Cupples I , room 100 ) if you feel there might have been some error in the grading . After that the exams will be put out in a cabinet by the Math 131 bulletin board on the first floor of Cupples I , for you to pick up . Once the exams are returned it will be more difficult to check for possible errors in grading .
