Final Exam Solution

Homework

There are weekly homework due on Monday's lectures (except for the first week). No late homeworks. The lowest two homework scores will be dropped.

Absences & Makeups

You are expected to attend all classes and take all quizzes and exams at the scheduled times.

•   Lectures: Regular attendance and participation are expected and are integral to your success in this class.

•   Quizzes: No makeups. The lowest(or missing) score will be dropped.

•  ˆ Exams: If you must miss an exam, you must notify your professor as soon as possible. A makeup can be offered only if the absence is due to an unavoidable emergency or religious observance.

Academic Integrity

All students in the course are expected to be familiar with and abide by the academic integrity policy. Violations of the policy are taken very seriously.

Testing Serves

The Office of Disability Services (ODS) determines full disability policies and procedures. Students with disabilities requesting accommodations must do the following: (1) consult ODS policies on requesting accommodations, and (2) present a Letter of Accommodations to the course coordinator and their instructor as early in the term as possible (see https://ods.rutgers.edu/letter-accommodation )
