  • The Final Exam is open book. You may use any printed/written materials as on our regular tests. Interaction/collaboration with anyone else during the test is an Honor Code violation.
  • Final Exams will be administered at the scheduled times (different for different sections). You need clear paper and a pen.

    • On Canvas [Assignments] tab you will find the test (eg. “Final Exam”). Open the pdf file; you do not need to print it. Write your solutions on paper.
    • Once done, scan your solutions and upload them to Canvas [Assignment]. Only single multipage pdf files will be accepted (the same as for the homework pdf scans). 15 minutes will be added to the posted Final Exam time to accommodate scanning and uploading.
  • Final Exam will be graded online – you will see your graded test and your score in Canvas.
