3. Three take-home examinations (60%)

All examinations are take-home. They will posted on the website roughly one week before the due date and must be submitted on or before the due date. Late examinations will not be accepted. Examinations  must be submitted in word-processed form: no handwritten examinations, no emailed examinations.

Since these are take-home examinations, you can use your notes and books, but the answers are to be  your own work (no group answers, no copying, etc.) and the writing is to be thoroughly edited and  proofed.
