Bring photo ID to both midterms and the final. No books, notes, calculators, or any electronic devices will be permitted in any exam. The final exam must be taken in order to receive a passing grade.- Grading
There will be no make-up quizzes. However, the lowest 2 scores of your quizzes will be dropped when computing your grade.
There will be no make-up exams, neither for the midterms nor for the final. However, some flexibility is built into the system by having two grading schemes. Your overall final grade will be the best of the following two variants:
- 10% best 5 quizzes + 30% for both midterms + 60% final.
- 15% best 5 quizzes + 15% best midterm + 70% final.
Regrades on quizzes and midterms must be requested within two weeks after they were taken. After this time, no requests for corrections will be honored.
All grades will be recorded on myUCLA.
