Exams

• Exams are multiple choice and/or short answer format. Exam questions will come from lectures, videos, guest speakers, assigned readings and in-class discussion - anything presented or discussed in class is "fair game" for the exams. There will be two mid-term exams and one final exam. They are of equal value, and the final exam is NOT cumulative.
• The use of notes, index cards, books, etc. is not permitted during exams. Cell phones, headphones and/or earphones must be out of sight. Please turn cell phones off during exams out of courtesy to your classmates.
• You must use your correct UWSP ID# and/or username when requested throughout the semester. Each time you do not use the requested identification or you do not complete your score sheet correctly you will lose 5% of the total points offered.
• You are expected to take exams during the scheduled exam period. No alternative arrangements for taking exams will be made unless exceptional, properly documented circumstances occur (e.g. valid medical reasons signed by a medical professional).
• I suggest you spend time making sure you can apply the concepts to other examples - do not just memorize the material. I allow students to decide which parts of the class are worth more when determining grades.
• Look over readings and videos as well as lecture notes. I suggest you make sure you understand all graphs, maps and visuals presented. I also recommend that you do not just memorize concepts - think about what the concepts mean and be able to apply them to other circumstances.
