You must work alone during the exams. All exams will be in class.
The midterm exam covers the crystallography part and will be
closed book; the final exam covers all parts in this course (i.e.
crystallography and x-ray diffraction) and will be close book.
Calculators are allowed to be used in the exams, but programmable
calculators must be cleared of programs before entering the
examination room. Discussion or talk with other students during
the exam will be considered as cheating and plagiarism.
