Course Policy on
Grading: Final Exam - cumulative 2 hour
exam determines 37.5% of final grade, there will be 6 in-class examinations
that determine the remainder (62.5 %) of your grade. Students are responsible

be no make-up exams. To get credit for an exam the student must (a)
take the exam at scheduled time, (b) pick up the graded exam from the
instructor within 2 weeks. Students are responsible for exam dates which
will be posted at http://www.physics.unlv.edu/~bernard/phy180_01/outline3.htm
