- Final Exam, Section 3: Tuesday, May 3, from 10:00 to 12:00
- Final Exam, Section 4: Friday, May 6, from 10:00 to 12:00
If any of exams 1, 2, or 3 is missed due to a legitimate excuse, the score on the final exam will be substituted for the score on the missed exam.
The final exam will be comprehensive but will be weighted more toward the later material, especially material that was not addressed in the exams.
