Location and Time:
The final examination for this
course will be held on
Monday, December 17 from 12:30 to
2:30 p.m. in Stone B50
(our usual classroom).
This is the time that the
University has scheduled for our final, and
all students must take the
final as scheduled.
Please bring your BU ids and a pen or pencil. You
will not be able to refer to any books or other papers. You
may use a calculator.
Course Material:
Old Exams:
One question of each of the old final exams involve material
we did not cover
this semester. The problems are #10 on the 2001 final,
#7 on the 1996 final, and #8 on the 1990 final.
Do not expect our final this semester to involve the same types of questions as the old finals. Your best guide to what might be asked is the homework problems.
Getting Help:
Antonios will hold office hours Wednesday, December 12, 12-1, and
Friday, December 14, 11-12. His office is MCS 182.
I will hold office hours on Thursday, December 13, 2:30-3:30, and on Saturday, December 15, 11-12. My office is MCS 255.
Course Grades:
University policy does not allow me to post grades in any form. You
must get your course grades from the Registrar's Office using
the Student Link or TelGrade.
Your course grade will be computed according to the grading scheme that was given on the syllabus. That scheme already makes an allowance for one bad exam. No factors other than your performance on the exams and your homework and POTD grades are considered when I compute your overall course grade.
I try to be especially careful when I compute your grade, but if you think that I have made a mistake in the computation, then you can check with me after the holidays. If you would like to see how you did on the final, come by my office hours next semester.
Good luck during finals and have a pleasant semester break.
