OK kids, we are now two weeks away from exam 3. In order to help get you geared up for our last exam, I am offering one final chance for class-wide extra credit.
I am giving each section the opportunity to submit up to 10 questions to appear on the other section's third exam. For each submitted question that at least one third (rounded to 33%) miss, I will award one-half a point of extra credit to the submitting section (obviously, up to a maximum of 5 points).
Here are some ground rules:
1. A hard copy of each section's questions are due to me by 5:00pm on April 24, 2009. Submissions may be made to me before or after class, during my office hours, or in my office (Allen 2117) between 4:00 and 5:00PM on April 24.
2. Each section may submit up to 10 questions total, and a each class is entitled to submit only one hard copy of all questions. Submissions must be turned in in each section's official submission envelope, which will be made available before or after class to any student who is registered for appropriate section. If I receive more than one submission for each section, or if the submission is not delivered in the official envelope, all submissions from the section will be null and void and no extra credit will be provided.
3. Questions may cover any material covered in the assigned readings or lectures throughout the semester.
4. Questions must be in multiple choice format with no more than five possible answers.
5. "Trick questions" are not allowed.
6. I reserve the right to exclude any question that is not fair or clearly worded, or that does not provide one single correct answer choice per question. I may exercise this right at my sole discretion without appeal.
7. I reserve the right to modify or edit questions or answer choices at my discretion.
8. Finally, I reserve the right to modify or amend the rules with reasonable notice at my sole discretion to preserve the integrity or spirit of the assignment.
I will go over all of this in class today and answer any questions you may have.
