Final Exam scheduled for Wednesday, December 10, 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. in our regular classroom, NSM B252. In accordance with our
philosophy of testing there will be no final exam, but grades will have to go in by Tuesday, December 16.
For purposes of grading we provide the readings and exercises listed here. There will be no "testing." That means that you will not have to live in anxious anticipation of what we will ask and how much you will have to know. Instead, we will provide weekly discussion questions, lectures, essays, and concepts we feel that you should know as a result of having taken this course. You will assure us of that learning and receive your grade for the questions and concepts about which you choose to write and talk with us. In addition you will find detailed explanations and examples on our grading policies in the first week's reading.
