Fall 2020 Term 2 Final Exams
Students’ Guide to Final Exams
For courses with a final exam, the professor has chosen to offer either a self-scheduled exam or a fixed (scheduled) exam. A fixed exam is given at a specific time for the entire class. A self‐scheduled exam is one that each member of the class takes at a time of the student’s choosing within the exam period.
Students must adhere to the Wellesley College Honor Code.
Students must always do their own work, using only those materials allowed by the professor, and taking only the designated amount of time. In accordance with the Honor Code, and to ensure that each student experiences equitable testing conditions, students are barred from speaking about an exam with any student. This includes discussion of the difficulty, content, format, or any other aspect of the exam.
