16 FINAL EXAM - comprehensive
Date - subject to verification;
check Albert
M = Monday, W = Wednesday, F = Friday
Grades and Exams: Your course grade will be determined in part by scores on three in-class examinations. Two midterms will each be worth 100 points. The final exam will be cumulative, and will be worth 200 points. Please be aware that an unexcused absence from any exam results in a score of zero for that exam. (Please be sure that your excuses are from NYU student health, explaining specifically what condition prevented you from taking the exam.)
Exam Regrade Policy:
Do not make any marks on the exam. On a separate, hand-signed cover sheet stapled to the exam, list your email address, state the problems that were misgraded, and affirm that no changes to the exam were made after grading. Submit the regrade request within two days of receiving the graded exam.
Arithmetic errors in adding up points will be corrected immediately. Any other regrade request will cause the entire exam to be regraded; therefore, your overall score may increase or decrease.
Oral or late requests for regrading will not be accepted. Recitation Quizzes. An additional 100 points will be awarded for quizzes conducted in recitation sections. Recitations will review the lectures and work on additional problems in peer-led groups. Please be sure that you have an assigned recitation section. Missing three or more recitations for any reason at all will result in an incomplete for the class. Team Presentations. To encourage you to start reading primary scientific literature, we will award another 100 points for a team presentation that discusses a modern research topic related to the course material. Each presentation should be 15 minutes long with 5 minutes for questions and answers and incorporate 4-5 primary research articles published after 1995 . Each presentation should expla in the significance of the work, delve deeply into the methodology and discuss its connection to the class. You will deliver this presentation in the recitaiton section together with your study partner. Each of you will be awarded equal points for the team presentation. The presentations will take place during the last 5 weeks of the class; more information will be provided in the recitation section.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism: The instructors for this course have no tolerance for plagiarism in any manifestation. The NYU policy on plagiarism will be enforced with great vigil. Students who fail to conform to NYU's standards on academic integrity will be subject to stringent disciplinary action. Inform yourself in advance of proper academic conduct. In brief (and quoting from the College of Arts & Science policy), "Academic honesty means that the work you submit - in whatever form - is original."
When in doubt, ask. Please consult:
