In most courses, the final grade is based on the student's achievement on an examination given at the end of the semester.
Examinations are anonymous, and papers are identified solely by number.
Each student is expected to take examinations at the scheduled times. For failure to do so, a grade of F is assigned. A student receiving a grade of F in a required course must repeat and pass the course. Grades of F remain on a student's transcript and count toward a student's grade-point average even if a course for which an F is given is repeated and passed. It may only be entered with the written permission of the professor teaching the course.
