• Exam Protocol :
  • Midterm: The exam will become available at 1:00PM on 8/18/23 via the Canvas quiz tool. You will have 120 minutes to complete the exam and 30 minutes to scan and submit your work. The exam will become unavailable and submissions will no longer be accepted at 3:30PM on 8/18, regardless of what time you begin.

  • Submitting Exams: Accurately label each problem with the number from the exam. Scan your work and save it as a .pdf file. You will only be allowed to submit one.pdf file. You can use CombinePDF to combine several different files into one pdf (for free). Ensure that your scanned work is easy to read.
  • If you fail to submit an exam, you will receive a zero. Once you have started an exam, I will only accept work submitted through the Canvas quiz, during the allotted time. Therefore, you should allow yourself adequate time (30 minutes) to scan and submit your files.
  • Do not discuss the exam with anyone, including your peers, until after the due date. Any student suspected of violating this guideline will, at a minimum, receive a zero on the exam.
  • You may freely consult my lecture notes during the exam. However, you are forbid- den from consulting any other resources, including, but not limited to, other textbooks, the internet, Chegg, and math.stackexchange. Any student suspected of violating this guideline will, at a minimum, receive a zero on the exam.
