Final Exam Info

Is the final exam the same for all students?

The department implemented a common final exam for all MTH 113 and MTH 114 students in the Fall 2023 semester.*  The base exam will be the same no matter which section you are in or which instructor you have.  However, please keep in mind that individual instructors may choose to include additional material for their particular students.  All students will have a maximum of three (3) hours to complete the final exam.  The final exam is cumulative, covering all of the material which is taught during the semester.

A common final for students in MTH 112 will be at the discretion of their instructor. 

*Starting Fall 2024, students in MTH 113 and MTH 114 have the option to opt out of the end-of-semester common final exam. Please see your instructor's syllabus for more information on eligibility to opt out of the final exam. 

Is the final exam mandatory?

Students in MTH 113 or MTH 114 who are eligible (must meet all requirements detailed in the syllabus) to opt out of the end-of-semester final exam have the option whether they would like to take the exam or not. Students who are not eligible (do not meet the requirements set forth in the syllabus) are mandated to take the final exam. 

Students in MTH 112 will take an end-of-semester common final exam at the discretion of their instructor. 

Regardless of what course you are in, please see your instructor's syllabus for more information on the final exam. 

How will the final exam be given?

MTH 113 or MTH 114 students: If you choose to take the final exam OR must take the final exam, the exam will be administered in person during final exam week. 

MTH 112: See your instructor's syllabus or talk to your instructor for specific directions and information regarding the final exam.
