For more information about exams click here.

All hour exams are given during regular class hours in the regular room, i.e.,  145 Altgeld Hall. No calculators are allowed at exams. If you have a valid conflict at the scheduled exam date, let me know at least one week ahead of the date, indicating the nature of your conflict; you will be notified if you are allowed to take a make-up exam. In case of illness, you will be allowed to take a make-up exam; a letter from your dean indicating that you are unable to take the exam at the designated date and time must be presented to the instructor. Otherwise the exam will be recorded as 0 points.

Home works: 

• Will be collected every Monday except when there is a written exam. For exact schedule, go to Lecture topics, homework assignments, etc. and see Collected HW assignments at the end of the web page.
• It is expected that students stay current in homework, rather than catch up from time to time.
• Home works will be graded for both completion and accuracy. Two lowest grades for home works will be dropped.
• No late homework will be accepted for any reason. Unless you have a legitimate, documentable (such as a note from McKinley) excuse, a missed home work will be recorded as 0 points. In particular, oversleeping is not such excuse.
• If you have a legitimate excuse, the homework assignment will be skipped so that it will not count towards your grade and will not affect your drop scores.
