Finals Week 11

BA131 FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE

I will give the final exam four times ... and I plan on letting you choose which time is most convenient for your personal schedule:

  • Monday 3/19 @  9:00-11:00 am

  • Monday 3/19 @  3:00-5:00 pm

  • Tuesday 3/20 @  2:00-4:00 pm

  • Tuesday 3/20 @ 9:30-11:30 am

*Assignment points are weighted to ensure that each assignment carries an appropriate relative importance in your total course grade.  The actual score you receive on an assignment is adjusted, or "weighted" against the weighted scores shown above.  For example, assignment #1 includes scores totaling 115 points, but that assignment is weighted as worth 50 of the total points in the course:  if you received 90/115 on assignment #1, that corresponds to 39/1000 or roughly 4% of your total grade for the class.
