Absences

Makeup exams for the midterms will not be given. If you are forced to miss one of the midterms, and have a valid excuse and a note from your Dean, that exam will not be counted in your final grade. One makeup final exam will be scheduled. Again, a valid excuse is necessary to be allowed to take this exam.

Regrades

If you have questions on the grading of your problems, please contact the appropriate grader directly by email (and cc Prof. Evans). For the midterms, you have two weeks after the exam is returned to request corrections to your score.

Approximate Grade Ranges

To give you an idea of where you are standing in the class, approximate grade ranges for the midterms are given below. Please note that your grade for the class is based on your numerical scores on the homework, exams and, optionally, the paper as outlined in the Grading section - not on the grades shown below.
