MAP 103: Proficiency Algebra

Information Pertaining to Exams

Please Note:

Exams for MAP 103 are common evening exams, scheduled by the registrar.  For this reason, there will be no make-up exams administered, and this policy is supported by the University Registrar. It is your responsibility to clear your schedule for the exam dates and times. If you have a class during the exam time slot, please explain the situation to the professor of the other class.  Employment obligations must also be cleared up prior to each exam.  The instructors will do the best they can to help you in clearing your schedule, but ultimately it is your responsibility as the student.

Exam Dates and Times:

Final Exam: Thursday, May 10, 2pm-4:30pm. Location: SB Union Room 123 (Auditorium). Please arrive by 1:50pm. There will be NO make-up exams administered for the final exam unless an unforeseeable emergency occurs, in which case the instructor will assign an I (incomplete) grade to the student until the final is made up.  NO make-up exams will be predetermined!

Review Session Schedule

All review sessions will be held in the Math Tower, Room P131, which is directly to the left of the elevators on the P floor. Students from any section may attend any review session.

IMPORTANT: Please come to review sessions with SPECIFIC QUESTIONS! The reviewer is not responsible for preparing a lesson nor will the reviewer attempt to re-teach the entire course. Thus, it behooves you to try the practice problems below and come with questions about problems that troubled you.

What Exams Will Cover:

• The final exam is cumulative.  Besides covering the material on exam 1 and exam 2, it will cover additional material from sections §6.1-§6.3, §7.1-§7.4, §8.1-§8.3, and §9.1-§9.5.

Review Sheets/Problems for Each Exam:

• Final Exam: The final exam will consist of 20 multiple-choice questions covering material from any chapter in the course; the test will also have on it long-answer (similar to exams 1 and 2) that will cover the material from chapters 6, 7, 8, and 9 that we've covered.
