• The final exam will be held on Wednesday December 9 from 9:30-11:30 in the Terman Auditorium. (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.)

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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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 (Marianne Siroker in Gates 435), marked very clearly for a regrade.
  3. If, during regrading, we discover a grading error in which too many points were awarded, the score will be lowered. In other words, a regrade request may result in a higher score, a lower score, or no change.
