Exam Policy

If you have a valid schedule conflict with one of the midterm exams, you must contact your TA at least one week before the exam to arrange to take it at an alternate (early) sitting. Valid conflicts include having another exam at the same date and time, being a varsity athlete with an out-of-town game at the scheduled exam period, or having another class scheduled at the same time. Only students with legitimate conflicts will be allowed to reschedule their exams, and alternate exam times are limited.

The date and time of the final exam are set be the university. All students must take the exam then.

Previous Exams

The following exams were given in previous incarnations of Math 51. Material covered for a given midterm in these classes does not necessarily correlate to the material covered in Math 51 this quarter, so bear this in mind when working these examples. When reviewing these exams you should attempt to solve the problems on your own without looking at the included solutions. Working the problems with the solutions at hand will do you no good at all.
