Taking the exam

- When the exam is over you will be asked to remain seated
and to pass your exam to your TA (no one else!).
Exam times
- No makeup exams are given.
- Your exam will be returned to you in your discussion section. If you are not satisfied with the way a problem was graded, you may write your concern on a separate sheet of paper and give it and your exam to your TA. He will then take your exam to the TA who graded the problem in question.
