FINAL EXAM

MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL DIRECTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING THE QUIZ!

The FINAL EXAM covers all material from Weeks 1-10 including readings, Friday meetings, all information posted under the "VIDEOS/EXTRAS" section of the weekly modules. You will have 180 minutes to complete the exam once you begin and you only have one attempt to take the exam. Therefore, make sure you are prepared and able to work on the exam for the entire 180 minutes once you begin. The exam will open at 6:00pm PST Tuesday, March 16th and will close at Wednesday, March 17th at 6:00pm PST. You can chose any 180-minute block within that time to take the exam but you must complete the exam by the Wednesday deadline. 

The exam contains a both close-ended and open-ended description and application questions. For multiple choice questions, make sure you read each question carefully and choose the BEST answer out of the options provided. For open-ended questions, make sure you address ALL aspects of the prompt and write in a concise manner (i.e. try to avoid sentences that simply rephrase the prompt and/or don't communicate any specific, relevant information). NOTE:  I have not included suggested response lengths for open-ended questions; thus, write as much or little as you think necessary to completely answer the prompt. 

The FINAL EXAM is worth a total of 120 points. For exemplary responses to open-ended questions, I will assign up to a combined total of 10 extra credit points.

The final exam score will only be counted toward your final course grade if it is higher than your combined score for the three quizzes. 

The final exam is open note and open book. However, collaboration with other students in any manner is prohibited. This includes communicating while taking the exam, sharing questions or answers, or collaborating in any other way. Any violation will be referred to the UCSD Office of Academic Integrity and, at a minimum, will result in a score of zero for the exam. 

Due to the fact that I will not be available to answer questions for the entire period the exam is open--and thus, cannot provide assistance to every student that takes the exam--I will not be able to respond to clarification questions while you are taking the exam. However, I will make adjustments after everyone has completed the exam if there were widespread issues for certain questions.
