Final Exam Instructions
FIN 380 Take-Home Final Examination- Fall 2020 The following pages contain the take home final exam for Finance 380, sections A and B. The exam is due no later than Monday, November 23rd at 9:00 PM. Late exams will lose 1 point for every minute late. By electronically submitting the final exam, you are attesting to the following. Please READ carefully. 1. I understand that this is an examination and attest that the work presented is my own; that it is done without outside assistance of any kind (except that provided by the instructor). I understand that the penalty for cheating or collusion of any kind is a grade of F for the course. 2. Spreadsheet solutions will be appropriately formatted and developed in a logical, readable, coherent fashion. Confusing or unformatted spreadsheets may result in a reduction of points. 3. I understand that the file tabs are in their original order and understand that out-of-order problems will not be graded (Note: it is YOUR responsibility to insure that what you pass in ordered correctly) 4. I understand that the due date and time for the exam is Monday, November 23rd at 9:00 PM. I understand that the exam must be submitted electronically by email to me at [email protected]. I understand that exams passed in after that time will be considered late and will incur a minimum penalty of 1 point lost per minute late. 5. The file name should contain both your last name, first name, section and the word “Final” in that order. For example, if you’re in the 10:20 AM section (Section A), your file name should be LastName.FirstName.A.Final.xlsx 6. Make sure you pass in the FINAL exam, not a homework assignment or your midterm. I don’t have time to hunt you down. 7. If you submit your exam early, I’ll try to open the file and make sure I have the right exam and that I can view it. I’ll let you know if I have problems. It is unlikely that I will be able to do so for any exam submitted after 5:00 P.M. on the day (Sunday) before the due date. 8. The exam is being made available to you on or before November 16 and is due November 23rd. That means you have ample time to ask questions if you are unclear about the instructions or what you are expected to provide as an answer. If you don’t understand a question, ask BEFORE the exam is due for clarification. Misunderstood questions leading to wrong answers will count against you. 9. Good luck! It’s almost over.
