Day and evening
section exams may be very similar, but they are distinct and written in
separate locations. If you are a
day section student (video lectures) be sure that you write the day section
exam. If you are an evening section student (in person lectures) be sure you
write the evening section exam.
Calculators are not allowed during examinations!
Grades are assigned at the
end of the year by converting your cumulative percentage mark into a letter
grade, using the following table:
90
+ - A+
80
- 89 - A
76
- 79 - B+
70
- 75 - B
60
- 69 - C+
50
- 59 - C
46
- 49 - D
0 - 45 - F
Very slight modifications
of this scheme are sometimes made to compensate for a class average that may
be judged to be too low or too high.
