General

There will be 2 in-term exams and a cumulative final exam. The date and time for each exam, and the chapters it covers are listed on the Course Schedule. These exams will not take place in your lecture hall in the physics building. Room assignments for where you must go to take the exams will be announced during class in the days leading up to the exam and posted on the course web page. Exams are multiple choice with your answers bubbled in on Scantron sheets. Mark your answers carefully. What you mark will determine your score (independent of your having meant otherwise). To each in-term exam you may bring a single, hand-written, formula sheet on 8½ x 11 inch paper (both sides) and you should bring a calculator which has no communications capability (calculators may not be shared), #2 pencils, an eraser and your picture ID (preferably your UFID). Scrap paper will be provided.  Unless superseded by a valid excuse, a missed exam will result in a zero. Valid excuses are officially sanctioned UF events, medical excuses or family emergencies.  The documentation must be provided to your instructor within 2 weeks of the missed exam or a rational reason that it will be delayed must be e-mailed along with the projected receipt date of the documentation to the course e-mail address (ilovephysics@phys.ufl.edu) within those 2 weeks. A valid excuse will allow you to take the cumulative make-up exam to replace the zero on the missed exam. There will be one cumulative make-up exam (covering material from all three exams), given towards the end of the semester to eligible students. The grade on this make-up exam will replace the missed exam. The two in-term exams and the final exam will be equally weighted and count for 60% of the course final score. None of the exam grades will be dropped.

Exams from the last year will be posted about a week before each exam. You can also obtain exams and solutions from the last few years by buying the optional course packet.
