Assessments and Exams Policies:

The four in-class exams will be administered during regular class time and in regular classroom. You should be prepared to show your Saint Mary's student identification card, if requested by your instructor before the quiz/test/exam.

The exams on computer will be task-oriented assessments completed in class using the computer and MyITLab. You will not be able to take these tests without a working SMU network account and MyITLab access. The written exams (paper-and-pencil) will be fairly short and students should bring pencil and eraser with them.

The final exam will be held in 2 sessions. On the last day of class November 27, 2013, Session 1 of the final exam (In-class Exam 4) will be done on the computer during class hours. Session 2 of the final exam (Registrar's FINAL EXAM) will be in writing (paper-and-pencil), and will take place during the final exam period at a time and place specified by the Registrar office. You must have your Saint Mary's student identification card with you to take the final exam. Please do not schedule any events (trips, vacations, weddings, etc.) before the last day of final exams. The final exams will be retained by the instructor. You should come to written exam with pencil and eraser.

There will be no rewrites of any in-class exam. Students are responsible to inform the instructor immediately by email in case of absence in an in-class exam with an excusable reason. The weight of missed in-class exam will be reallocated with the final exam. Except under dire emergency situations, such as incapacitating illness or injury, you will not be permitted to take any part of the final exam at any time or date other than specified above.
