Final Exam/Quiz
21/11/11 18:02 Filed in: 480
We discussed the final exam/quiz issue in class a few times, but here’s the gist of it:
Since there should be some final exam activity during finals week, we’ll do a final quiz, which you can use to replace the score on another quiz you may have missed or not done so well in. So in total, there will be nine quizzes, and only the eight highest scores will be counted. This quiz will be cumulative, covering all the topics discussed throughout the quarter. If you’re not happy with your quiz score, you can also submit additional quiz questions; for details, see the earlier entry on Quiz Makeup Opportunity (Oct. 10, Tag “Quiz”).
The final exam time slots are Thu, Dec. 8, 7:10 - 10:00 AM for 480-01 and Thu, Dec. 8, 4:10 - 7:00 PM for 480-03. My plan is to make the quiz available from the beginning of the first slot until the end of the second slot, so from 7:10 AM until 7:00 PM. You don’t need to be on campus to take the quiz, all you need is access to Blackboard. The modus is the same as for the other quizzes: Notes, books, Web lookup is allowed, but collaboration with others and calculation of answers by computer programs are not.
