The pre-final exam grade will not count. It has
been brought to my attention that the pre-final exam violates
the letter of the rules for the concentrated study period.
Therefore, the pre-final exam grade will not count. Instead,
the final exam weight will be doubled. Please submit your pre-final
exam by Sunday. It will be graded and returned before the
take-home final. Please make every effort to complete and
return the pre-final. It will help you in preparing for the real
thing, and will help me to make a better test.
