Arrangements must be made to make up missed exams as soon as possible. If you have watch scheduled during an exam period, find a substitute to stand your watch. Midshipmen are asked to make known anticipated absences. The student remains responsible for the material presented during the absence, regardless of the reason. If you miss a class when an assignment is due, you must turn in the assignment at the beginning of the next class period to avoid it being considered late.
Communication is the key.
Additional extra instruction session may be scheduled by appointment with your professor. The course objectives should be reviewed in detail. They specifically outline the expectations against which each student's performance will be assessed. Class participation counts. The degree and quality of participation in class discussions, labs, and problem solving sessions will be used to adjust borderline grades appropriately.
