by 4/29 11:30 pm
Final Exam:see . The place of the final exam will be announced later in the semester, especially, since some instructors have more than one section and will need a lecture hall to administer the final exam.
Exams: You will take two exams during the semester. Each will involve a mix of mechanical skills and conceptual reasoning. The best possible preparation for them is regular completion of assigned homework.. Exams will be taken online using WebAssign.
.
Makeup exams:No Makeup exams. are given at the discretion of the instructor and only in the case of verified medical or other documented emergencies. In an emergency, you must notify the instructor in advance to request a makeup.

Departmental and University Policies and Procedures
Departmental Drop Back: Based on results of the pretest and advising from the course instructor, a student may elect to drop back to a lower level math course before the drop back deadline. Students should go to the Undergraduate Mathematics Office in PSA 211 to initiate a drop back request.
Course Withdrawal:A student may withdraw from a course with a grade of W during the withdrawal period. The instructor’s signature is not required. It is a student’s responsibility to verify that that they have in fact withdrawn from a class.
The grade of Incomplete: A grade of incomplete will be awarded only in the event that a documented emergency or illness prevents the student who is doing acceptable work from completing a small percentage of the course requirements. The student must provide written documentation and be passing the class at the time to receive an Incomplete. Make-up final exams will NOT be given for reasons of a non-refundable airline tickets, vacation plans, work schedules, weddings, family reunions, and other such activities. Students should consult the final exam schedule before making end-of-semester travel plans. The guidelines in the current general ASU catalog regarding a grade of incomplete will be strictly followed. The Dean of the student’s college must approve any exceptions to these rules.
Final Exam Make-up Policy: The common final exam time is listed in the Schedule of Classes( and will be strictly followed. Except to resolve those situations described below, no changes may be made in this schedule without prior approval of the Dean of the college in which the course is offered. Under this schedule, if a conflict occurs, or a student has more than three exams on one day, the instructors may be consulted about an individual schedule adjustment necessary, the matter may be pursed further with the appropriate dean(s). This procedure applies to conflicts among any combination of Downtown Phoenix campus, Tempe campus, Polytechnic campus, West campus, and/or off campus class.
Make-up final exams will NOT be given for reasons of a non-refundable airline tickets, vacation plans, work schedules, weddings, family reunions, and other such activities. Students should consult the final exam schedule before making end-of-semester travel plans.
Honor Policy: The highest standards of academic integrity are expected of all students. The failure of any student to meet these standards may result in suspension or expulsion from the University or other sanctions as specified in the University Student Academic Integrity Policy. Violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to, cheating, fabrication, tampering, plagiarism, or facilitating such activities.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY! In the “Student Academic Integrity Policy” manual, ASU defines “’Plagiarism” [as] intentionally or knowingly representing the words or ideas of another as one's own in any academic exercise. Students are responsible for knowing the rules governing the use of another's work or materials and for acknowledging and documenting the source appropriately.” You can find this definition at:
Academic dishonesty, including inappropriate collaboration, will not be tolerated. There are severe sanctions for cheating, plagiarizing and any other form of dishonesty.
The grade of XE: A grade of XE is reserved for "failure for academic dishonesty." The XE grade may be petitioned after 1 year.
