The only excused absences are for incapacitating illness or personal tragedy, and a doctor's note or other documentation may be required. Please call me within 24 hours of missing an exam. If you feel that an exam has been graded unfairly, you must turn in the exam to me no later than one week after exams were handed back, with a written explanation of your reason for desiring a regrade. The entire exam is subject to regrading, which often decreases the total score. Arithmetic errors in the grading can be corrected without regrading.
Integrity is a cornerstone of the scientific enterprise.
Attempts to have a substitute take an exam for you, to alter exams before regrading, or to copy from your neighbors will be treated with absolutely no sense of humor. Please bring a photo ID with you to all exams. Random exams will be photocopied. Your progress toward getting an A in this course is much less important to us. We also pursue research and other activities which require time and concentration.
