Course Information and Policies

Examinations

Student learning will be evaluated by three exams. Each exam will cover material presented in the preceding course segment. The last exam is not comprehensive.

Exams in MFM will cover material from Lectures, Conferences, and Clinical Problems sessions. Questions will be in formats suitable for machine grading (multiple-choice, true-false, etc.). Each MFM exam will be worth 150 points.

Administration: Each MFM exam should take about 3 hours to complete. On some exam days, the MFM and POM exams may be given together (see schedule). If this occurs, extra time will be allotted to ensure that both exams can be completed.

Exam schedule:

Total for MFM exams: 450 points

General Exam Procedures:

MFM follows the exam procedures that have been adopted as standard by all courses in the first two years.

1. All MFM exams will be given in room 9295 (9th Floor Lecture Hall) starting at 8:30 a.m.

2. No books, notes, handouts, calculators or other electronic devices may be brought into the testing room.

3. Seats are assigned prior to the exam.

4. Follow all directions carefully. Do not open your test envelope until instructed to do so. Be sure to fill in each form completely.

5. During the exam, proctors will not answer questions concering the meaning or interpretation of the questions. Students should speak with the proctors only to point out typographical errors and similar minor flaws.

6. Students may hand in the test materials and leave the room when they have completed your exam.

Scoring and Grade Reports: Exams in MFM will be scored by computer. Grades are not determined until the instructors have had a chance to evaluate a computer printout of student performance on each question and consider any written objections to the wording of questions.

Challenges. No requests to adjust individual grades will be considered. Challenges to specific questions should be made during the exam, by writing a succinct note on the back of the score sheet.
