Notes on Exam Times:

It is my goal to give the exams in the evening on the specified days. Plan for about 2 hours for the midterms and 3 hours for the final.

If for some reason you cannot make an exam, please get in contact with me as soon as you know you're not going to be able to make it. If you require special accomodations, contact me at least a few days before the first exam (before the holiday weekend).
