On Friday, April 4, there will be an optional, but highly recommended two-part “second chance” exam on selected topics from the earlier exams.
Topics: The topic of the first part will be logistic modeling in Excel. Bring your Drew laptop to the exam if you plan to take the Excel part! The second part will contain several questions that require finding derivatives using the rules from chapter 3 of the text.
Grading: Your score on the two parts of Friday’s exam will be compared to your first two exam scores. If a “second chance” score is higher, your earlier score(s) will be raised. (The specific effect on your score will depend on both your old and new exam scores and will favor the better second-chance score. For example, if you got a D on exam 1 and an A- on its second-chance replacement, your recorded exam 1 grade will be a B.)
Are Friday’s retests required? No, but they can’t hurt you. If you do worse on Friday than you did the first time around, your grades will stay the same. You also have the option of taking only one part of Friday’s two-part exam.
Upcoming Office Hours: Thursday, April 3, 11:00-12:30 (other times by appointment), and Friday, April 4, 10:30-11:20. Note that Friday’s office hour is earlier than my regular Friday office hour, which I can’t make because of a meeting.
