Final Exam

Scheduled Sat, Dec 17, 1:00pm-3:00pm in PHYS 223

Covers all material. We will have review on Wed, Dec 7 and Fri, Dec 9.

New! [Practice Problems] (in addition to Midterm Practice Problems)

Final score

- Your final score is going to be calculated by the following scheme:

Scheme I =(1/3) FE + (7/30) ME1+ (7/30) ME2+(1/5) HW

where FE, MEi, HW are the scores (in %) for Final Exam, Midterm i, Homework

- If you scored above the average on each of the Midterm Exams, that is

if ME1 >= 46 and ME2 >=33

then you will be allowed not to take the final and in that case your score will be calculated by the scheme

Scheme II = (3/8) ME1+(3/8) ME2+(1/4) HW

Note: If you qualify and decide to opt out from taking the final exam, please let me know (by emailing) by Fri, Dec 9.
