CALCULATORS: 

• Must have a simple, inexpensive scientific calculator (not one for business) (If it costs more than $10-15, it probably will not be allowed.)  Nothing higher than a TI-30.  Casio fx-260 solar or a TI 25x (ca. $10 at Target or Walmart) are recommended. Calculators with higher numbers tend to give students problems.  Learn how to use your calculator. 

• Sharing of calculators during exams or quizzes is not permitted.

• The following are NOT allowed at your desk during quizzes and exams:

  • Programmable and graphing calculators

  • Laptop or any handheld computers including organizers

  • Cellphones

  • Other devices with memory, including watches, mp3 players, and cameras.

OTHER RULES THAT ARE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES: 

• Those arriving late for exams or quizzes will be required to turn in their papers with the rest of the class. 

• Place all backpacks, etc. in the front of the room during all exams.  Only writing instruments and a calculator are allowed at your desk.

• Makeup exams will be given ONLY in the case of documented illness, death in the family, or official University absences.  Documentation requires a letter from the student or the proper University official, and, in the case of illness, a note from a doctor (not the health center).  This must include a phone number for verification.  Make-up exams may be written or oral and will be given at a time convenient to both the student and instructor. 

• On exams and quizzes, you must SHOW ALL WORK.  This means a logical thought process in legible handwriting, including units and numbers for all steps of the solution.  If no work is shown, no points will be given.

• The SMU honor code will be followed on all graded work.

• Disability Accommodations:  Contact Ms. Rebecca Marin, Coordinator, Services for Students with Disabilities, at (214) 768-4557 or rmarin@smu.edu to verify the disability and establish eligibility for accommodation.  After this is done, schedule an appointment with the instructor to make arrangements.

• Religious Observance:  Religiously observant students wishing to be absent on holidays that require missing class should notify their professors in writing at the beginning of the semester, and should discuss with them, in advance, acceptable ways of making up any work missed because of the absence.  (See University Policy No. 1.9.)

• Excused Absences for University Extracurricular Activities:  Students participating in an officially sanctioned, scheduled University extracurricular activity should be given the opportunity to make up class assignments or other graded assignments missed as a result of their participation.  It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the instructor prior to any missed scheduled examination or other missed assignment for making up the work.
