Accordingly, excessive absence on quiz days can result in deterioration of your grade. For more details, consult the appropriate section under grading. Quarterly and final exams may not be made up, nor may they be taken earlier or later than scheduled. The failing grade of a missed quarterly exam may be discarded as described earlier. In all cases, if you foresee that you will miss a quarterly exam, you should discuss the matter with the instructor ahead of time.
Assignments are due on time, and there is a late penalty as described above.
Finally, in the case of prolonged absence owing to grave illness or serious personal problems, the instuctor is available for consultation as to how the course requirements may be met, if this be possible, after the student's life returns to normal. Classes last seventy-five minutes. The increasingly common practice of leaving and returning to class without any real necessity has become a problem of growing proportions since it is distracting to the instructor and to fellow students. Moreover, it interrupts the continuity of thought for the student who does this, and interferes with learning. You are expected to remain in class for the entire period.
