There should be NO collaboration between groups or individuals not submitting a common completed assignment. Students missing an exam or assignment will receive a zero for that exam or assignment unless they have discussed the situation in advancewith the professor and received approval for a makeup . This includes absences due to illness. The same or an alternate exam may be given upon the availability of the student, or it may be given at the end of the term. This will be determined by the professor.
Alternate exams are frequently more difficult.
The only exception is the term paper. Late papers are accepted at a cost of 2 points per calendar day past the due date, regardless of the reason. Every student is responsible for all material covered and announcements made in class, regardless of attendance. If you miss a class, obtain all information before coming to the next class. Consistent physical or virtual class attendance is strongly recommended.
