  • IMPORTANT CHANGE IN SYLLABUS: FINAL EXAM

    The final exam counts for 45% of your final grade. It is divided into two parts:

    1. A take-home Essay -- due in class on April 30th -- 15% of your final grade

    2. A comprehensive in-class exam: Short questions for short answers -- 30% of your final grade
       If your grade for the in-class final exam is higher than your midterm grade, then your midterm grade will be forgotten, and your in-class final exam will count for 30%+15% = 45% of your grade.
