Makeup

There will be no makeup of exams. If you miss an exam due to an excused absence, you will be excused from the exam, but will receive no points. Your grade will be calculated without considering the missed exam. An excused absence REQUIRES written verification of illness or other bona-fide absence per university policy. You are responsible to provide ample documentation before an absence will be excused. Excuses must be provided in ample time as well.

Students participating in official activities should know well in advance and should make arrangements for makeup. In the case of anticipated absences (athletic travel, etc.), we can often make arrangements for you to take the exam early. In all cases, you must see me IN ADVANCE if you wish to be excused for official university business.

Grades will be calculated by dividing the points amassed by the number possible. The resulting percentage will be assigned a grade based on the following scale:

90% or better A

Points possible may vary, but tentatively they will be as follows:

Exams (4) 400
