\vskip 20pt
\begin{itemize}
\item The exam will start promptly at 7:30pm and end promptly at 9:00pm. 
(Exception: some students may have been authorized to receive additional 
time on exams by the Counseling Center.  If you believe you are eligible 
for this accomodation because of a learning disability, you must arrange to have 
your situation verified by the Counseling Center and I must be officially notified.)

\item The exam will be designed to take about 50 minutes to an hour to 
complete if you 
are well-prepared and work steadily.  But you will have the extra 
30 to 40 minutes to work and check your solutions if you need that much time.

\item You will be given a TI-30 scientific calculator for the exam which 
does NOT have graphing capabilities. (Note: Some of you may have a similar calculator
purchased for use in Chemistry courses here.  Those are also OK.)
So be prepared to answer questions without your personal calculator.  


\item \emph{Important:} \emph{No use} of computers, cell phones, pagers, PDA's, I-pods, 
or any other electronic devices will be permitted during the exam.  
Please leave such devices in your room or put them away in your backpack
(making sure cell phones are turned off so they do not ring during the
exam and disturb you and your classmates).

\item You will be provided with an exam booklet where you will place
your solutions.  This will have plenty of room for scratch work, so
it should not be necessary to bring any paper.  If you do bring other
paper for scratch work, it must be \emph{completely blank}.  I will inspect
any paper you bring to the exam to make sure this rule is followed.
