Welcome to MA 103.  During the semester, you will have 4 tests ; these will count for 65% of your grade. At the end of the semester, you will have to take a final exam that will count as 25% of your grade. You will take these tests and exam on campus at the DE Proctor Center. Go to the NCSU DE web page for testing information. You may also take the tests with a remote proctor if you are located far from campus.
