    Any student who scores below 50 on the final exam cannot receive a grade higher than D in the course.

    If you have a conflict with either midterm or final, you must contact the course coordinator no later than Census Date (September 9), by using a form attached to the coordinator's office door (PKH 448) and submitting it together with necessary documentation as indicated on the form. You may also contact the coordinator by e-mail (Krueger@uta.edu) no later than September 9. Do not assume that you e-mail has been received if there is no response from the coordinator. If a conflict arises after September 9, contact the coordinator immediately. Delays in submitting a make-up request may mean that your request cannot be approved.

    You may find old exams useful for your study. Solutions to MC questions are available, too. All midterms and some final exams are also available in the Science Education and Career Center, 106 Life Sciences Building.
