Late homework is subject to an automatic deduction to be determined by the instructor . A suitable alternate time convenient to the instructor can be arranged. The granting of make-up exams is NOT an entitlement but is a courtesy granted to the student by the instructor. If this courtesy is abused by a particular student or the class as a whole, then the privilege may be revoked. A missed midterm exam or final exam will be assigned a score of zero .
Exams are typically closed book and closed notes.
The function of the exams is to confirm that the student has achieved the required level of proficiency. The option which yields the maximum score is used to determine the semester grade.
