Session 8: Exam 1 Location Time Points towards grade -
15 points — 15% of the total possible points used to determine the course grade.
Exam Format
Prior to each exam, we will distribute an exam announcement to clarify expectations and help you successfully prepare for the exam. All exams are comprehensive and may include exercises and practice problems not discussed in class.
You may use a basic calculator during the exams. However, your calculator must not contain course related information. Additionally, your calculator must not be capable of storing “text” or communicating with others (no cell phones or other text messaging devices are permitted).
-
Exams are closed book and closed notes.
-
Generally partial credit will be limited, so check your answers carefully.
-
To protect the vast majority of students who will not cheat on the exam, there will be alternative versions of the exam that are the same in all respects except the questions contain some numbers that differ or are arranged differently.
-
Regardless of one’s intent, staring at classmates’ exams is inappropriate. If you wish to take a break from staring at your exam, stare directly ahead or to either side without looking down.
-
More generally, you are to honor the Carroll School’s Core Values in all respects.

Additional guidance: Don't be concerned if you find this reading challenging. This said, it is essential that you try to master the EasyLearn example therein the best you can before coming to class. If you do so, there is a good chance you will make significant progress towards understanding indirect cash flow statements by the end of class. If not, you will likely be quite frustrated by the end of class.
