1. Your test average with the first exam weighted 25%, the second exam
weighted 25%, the third exam weighted 25%, and the final exam
weighted 25% will be computed.
2. The lowest of the three semester exam grades will be dropped and
your test average will be computed with your two highest test scores
weighted as 30% each, and your final exam score weighted as 40%.
Your letter grade will be assigned based on the higher of 1. & 2.
+/- Grades will be assigned.
3. You may elect not to take the final exam. Your grade will then be
computed entirely on the basis your average on the first three tests.

Making up an Incomplete in mathematics: To make up an incomplete, you must...
1. Not re-register for the course — You are making up an incomplete in your original course.
2. Appear in person at the Mathematics Building, Room 244, ask for Rosemarie Marciniak and ask
her to initiate an incomplete petition form for you.
3. Sign the petition.
4. a) If your original instructor determined that the work was to be completed with him/her, take the
approved petition form to your original instructor for his/her signature.
b) If your original instructor determined that the work was to be completed by your repeating the
course, take the approved petition form to your new instructor for his/her signature.
5. Return the petition form to Rosemarie Marciniak in Room 244 Mathematics Building by the last
day of drop/add (Friday, Sept. 8).
Repeating Course: If this course is being taken to repeat a course previously taken at UB, it is
important , for financial aid purposes, to be registered for 12 credit hours in addition to the course
