Updated notice about the exam:

The exam, which could not be held on August 14th because of the power outage, has been rescheduled for Monday, August 25th (still 7-10 p.m. in SF 3202). Students who are unable to write the exam at the new time have the option of having their final marks calculated from the already completed course requirements (in this case, the homework exercises, the term test, and the transcription quiz). More information about the exam arrangements is available from the Faculty of Arts and Science. Questions about these arrangements may be directed to ask@artsci.utoronto.ca.

For students who choose to have their final marks calculated on term work without the final exam, the relative proportions of the components of the mark will remain the same, but will be scaled up so as to add up to 100%. This works out to:

Marking scheme without final exam
Item	Weight
Homework exercises	25%
Term test	50%
Transcription quiz	25%

Evaluation

The University Grading Practices Policy states that "[g]rades should always be based on the approved grade scales. However, students may find that on any one evaluation they may receive a numerical or letter mark that reflects the score achieved on the test or essay. The cumulative scores may not be directly identified with the final grade. Grades are final only after review by the divisional review committee."
