Final Exam Policy for Calculus, Diff Eqns, and Statistics Courses - Public version

This policy is an extract of the final exam policy followed by the mathematics department.

  1. This policy covers MA101, M102, MA111, MA112, MA113, MA221, MA222, MA223.
  2. The final exams are common finals made up by the course teams.
  3. The final exam will consist of two parts. The first part will "by hands" (paper, pencil). No computing devices (calculators/computers) will be allowed during the first part of the final exam. This part of the exam will cover both computational fundamentals as well as some conceptual interpretation, though the level of difficulty and depth of conceptual interpretation must take into account that this part of the exam will be shorter than the second part of the exam.  The laptop, starting with a blank Maple work sheet, and a calculator, may be used during the second part of the exam. No "cheat sheets", prepared Maple worksheets or prepared program on the calculator may be used. The second part of the exams will cover all skills: concepts, calculation, modeling, problem solving, interpretation.
  4. Any aids such as Laplace transform tables and statistics tables required in either part of the exam will be supplied with the exam.
