Most importantly!
I forgot to say that after the students lobbied (quite persuasively, I might add) for a "cheat sheet," I gave in. For this exam, they are allowed to have a large index card (roughly equivalent to a half sheet of paper) of notes or formulas or the odd word that they might forget. This was something that Carlos had allowed for the quiz and it seemed to have worked well. The students didn't overwhelmingly score A's or anything, and it seemed to take the edge off of some of their trouble spots.
Is this ok with everyone else? I had to make a decision on the fly, so I'm very sorry I didn't consult with other instructors. They asked me in class about this yesterday, and there weren't going to be any more classes until the exam so I had to decide so that they could prepare. Hope this is ok with everyone!
