    Take-Home Examination
    1. to be handed out March 8 at the end of class
    2. this open-notebook final writing opportunity should not take more time than would normally be expected as preparation time for an in-class examination (In fact, it would have been given in class if our room would have been available at that time). Part of this take-home may relate to your project and, thus, should be submitted on your Web site.
    3. Submit your not-project-related essay(s) or statement(s) on paper + typewritten (only!) on or before March 14 in my mailbox (Smith 408, be absolutely sure that it is the right (Krumme) mail box and let me know by Email (dated March 14 or earlier) that you have done that), or
    4. submit your take-home March 15 between 10:30 - 12:20 in Smith 415 (has to be "face-to-face", i.e. "in person").

      Do NOT forget to hand in your "Peer Evaluations" of Projects!

      This is the time officially scheduled for "final examinations". This time will provide

      1. some of you (those who missed the first or second in-class examinations for good reasons) with the opportunity for a make-up examination (starts at 11) [inquire whether you might qualify!]
      2. all of you and your group the opportunity for a "Final Conference" with your instructor. I would expect that all students with incomplete or late assignments, poor or no midterm grades and/or excessive (=more than 2) absences from class would want to make use of these opportunities. Sign up for your time slot or for the make-up. Additional conference times will be made available on March 15 (after 12:30) if there is the demand.
      3. There will be no other regular office hours on March 14 or at any other time after our March 8th class, but I will be accessible by Email throughout the examination and grading periods.
