Final Exam: June 6
(30% of your final grade)
The final exam will be held on Monday June 7th from 9:30-11:30 AM
in our usual classroom, Gates B01. (The officially scheduled time is
8:30-11:30, but we will have a 2-hour exam, and we assume students
prefer the later rather than earlier 2-hour time slot.) All enrolled
students must attend the final exam on campus at the scheduled time
and place.

year but were not identical.
Alternate and Makeup Exams, Regrades
Routine alternate or make-up exams will not be given. If you
provide an extraordinarily compelling case then an alternate exam may
be given, but alternate exams are always oral exams given by the
instructor.
Regrades:
Please do not ask for a regrade on a particular problem until
you have studied our sample solution. If you don't understand the
sample solution, please visit office hours.
Once you understand the sample solution, if you still believe
that your solution is correct, you may either: (1) Visit any staff
member's office hours to discuss your solution to the problem and
whether a regrade may be warranted; or (2) Attach a note to your exam
explaining very clearly why your answer is correct, then turn it in
during class or to the course administrator (Sarah Weden in Gates
419), marked very clearly for a regrade.
