Rules for the exams: You are allowed one two-sided 8.5"x11" sheet of handwritten notes, and a scientific (non-graphing) calculator. There are no makeup exams.

Rules for quizzes: Unless otherwise specified, you are allowed a calculator (any kind) but no notes, and you will generally be given about 20 minutes.

• If you think part of your test needs to be regraded, you have until Wednesday, June 3 to bring your concerns to my attention. Unless it is a simple calculation error, any request for a regrade must be made in writing, clearly explaining why you think the problem was graded incorrectly. If you make such a request, I will completely regrade the entire problem, which means you may gain points, lose points, or have no change in your score.
