Evaluation
There are two optional assignments, the solutions for which will be posted to the web site according to the schedule below. You will be required to complete a take home mid-term and a formal, supervised final examination to receive credit for the course. The distribution of marks is as follows:
| Take Home Mid-Term | 30% |
| Final Examination | 70% |
Final Examination
Students must write their exam on the day and time scheduled by the University. The start time may vary slightly depending on the off-campus exam centre. Do not schedule vacations, appointments, etc., during the exam period (please refer to Important Dates). For more information about Off-Campus Exams please refer to:

Final Examination Format
The final exam will be supervised and three hours in length. It will consist of three parts: true/false, multiple choice and long answer questions. To get practice in doing multiple choice questions, be sure to see the ones in the Study Guide. You are permitted to bring a non-programmable calculator (e.g., a series CASIO 991 calculator) to the final exam.
