Fall 2009

Exam regulations: Your are required to abide by the following:

We treat cheating with zero tolerance. The consequences of cheating are at a minimum that the score for work on which cheating occurs counts as 0, and a letter detailing the cheating is sent to the student's advisor, the dean of CAS, and placed in the student's academic file. Possible further consequences are referral to Academic Conduct Committee, and additional penalties, including possible expulsion from university.

No electronic devices may be used. No electrronic devices (cell phones, etc.) are allowed in the exam rooms. All electronic or other communication is forbidden. No books or notes are allowed in the exam rooms. All calculations are to be done by hand and so no calculational aids (calculators, PDA's, portable PC's, slide rules, etc.) are allowed in the exam rooms.

Please do your exam in non-erasable black or blue ink; exams done in pencil or in erasable ink will not be accepted for regrading. Please use only the exam paper provided. Scrap paper may not be used. Points will be deducted for answers reported to an incorrect number of significant figures and if proper units are not used throughout each calculation. A periodic table, physical constants, major formulas, and representative values of base 10 logarithms will be provided as appropriate. All work must be shown to receive credit.
