Exam Policy: You
must be present at each of the exams.
A missed exam is treated as a zero in your class record. If you are extremely ill and cannot
take a particular exam you must: i) contact the instructor before the exam
takes place and ii) provide documentation from your physician. Arrangements for a make up exam or
alternative will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
