If you have ANY question about how your exam was graded (and be sure to add the individual question points yourself to ensure we added correctly), here's what to do:
1. Write out in detail what your concern is and why you are asking me to review your exam.
2. Give me your original exam and your written statement.
3. Sit tight. I'll get back to you with a response as soon as I can.

Exam 1: Tuesday, January 27, 7:00 - 9:00 PM
Exam 2: Thursday, February 19, 7:00 - 9:00 PM
Final Exam: 9 Section: Monday, March 15, 8:00 - 11:00 AM
Final Exam: 10 Section: Friday, March 12, 8:00 - 11:00 AM

The Class vote on the final exam showed a reasonable split between the two days. Thus, we will use both exam times, each will have a different exam, your grade on the final will be normalized in a way to remove any bias between the two exams (so that your score will NOT reflect that one exam was "harder" than the other), and you can take the exam on the day you voted to take it!

After two exams, you can begin to see how your performance in the class is emerging. We still have another 100 points out there, plus the lab score, but here's a histogram of everyone's total performance on the first two exams:

Honor Principle:

It is important to be explicit in stating how the broad principle of academic honor applies in Chemistry 5. Read the page that discusses the Honor Principle in our General Chemistry courses in detail, and ask me to clarify any points of that discussion that are not clear to you.
