There will be three exams this semester.  Each test will cover three chapters. Tests will be completed in-class. You will have 50 minutes to complete each test; if you arrive late, you will not be afforded extra time. Check the course calendars for specific dates.

You will be given exam targets.  Prior to each exam, you will be given specific targets to study. You should expect problems that reflect what you have completed in class, or that have been analyzed in lecture. Problems might require numeric solution, error analysis, or may be symbolic in nature.

Exams are calculator-only.  Your phone is not a calculator. Your tablets, laptops, and smart watches are not calculators. The AI is not a calculator. The paper cheatsheet taped to the inside lid of your calculator is not a calculator. I will have a spare calculator available, but you should not rely on what I happen to find in the lost-and-found drawer.

Exams are never, ever collaborative. There is zero ambiguity here; you must complete every portion of every exam by yourself. You may not share calculators during exams..
