Hour Exams (3 class periods)
Leeway (1-2 class periods)
A reasonable choice for the material for each hour exam is the first exam after Chapter 7, the second exam after Section 11.4, and the third exam after Section 11.11 or 10.2. Chapter 11 contains too much material for one exam.
Course Prerequisite: MATH 220 or MATH 221. A minimum grade of C is recommended in Math 220 or 221.
