Reminders:
Preparation for midterm 1:
o Calculator which has the capability of storing formula (e.g. graphic calculator) is allowed only after its memory is cleared. (Please show your “memory clearance” to two classmates, when applicable).
o For current semester, we have adopted no-negative scoring grading policy. See the taking an exam link for more details.
