 Every exam will have one retake. All exams are in the evening beginning at 5:00 p.m. in EGRA 111.
The first exam will be out of 110 points. The makeup exam will be 8 days later in EGRA 111 (except for
the last make up which will be three days later) and will be out of 100 points. The higher of the two
exam grades will count toward that exam grade. The retake will be the same level of difficulty as the
regular exam. In addition, practice exams will be posted on my 305 website 1 week prior to each exam.
 If you have a problem with these dates, you must let me know by the end of THIS WEEK!
 Please go to the website for “how to” sheets (they are for your benefit only and are not to be handed in).
 Extra credit will be given if you help at least 2 hours at Science Fair on Thursday, March 23rd.
 All cell phones need to be turned off and put away. If I see one during an exam you will
automatically be given a 0 on that exam.
