Final Exam Info

The Final Exam is a three hour (closed book) exam that counts for 300 points. The exam consists of two medium/longish essay questions (approximately 2000 words) and one medium essay question (1000 words). Here are some things you need to know:

1. All answers must be typed on a computer using Extegrity Exam 4 software. Check with Vickie in the Dean's Office with any questions about procedures.

2. If you need a lab computer, make sure Vickie knows.

3. Be sure to observe the maximum word limits for each question. If you go beyond the word limit, it will adversely affect your grade for that question. If I say "answer the question in approximately 2000 words or less" that means what it says. I use "approximately" to be flexible, so you don't have to stop in the middle of a sentence. 2025 words is okay;2100 words is not okay. Please don't abuse the flexibility that I give you by using the word "approximately."
