If a student cannot take the final examination when scheduled, a makeup exam will be given only if the student's excuse is approved in writing by the Dean. There will be no exceptions to this policy. Makeup final exams will be in an all-essay format. If a student believes that an answer on an exam deserves more credit than was awarded by the grader, the student may appeal to the instructor for reconsideration. All such appeals must be in writing, and reconsideration will be based on the quality of the appeal as well as the quality of the ans- wer concerned.
Reconsiderations can be downwards as well as upwards.
Examination grades will be posted on a bulletin board in the hallway on the third floor of White-Gravenor. Although the exams themselves will not be returned to students and may not be copied or removed from Prof. Parrott's office, students are welcome to inspect their exams during office hours. Attendance in class is an important part of this course. It is expected that all students will attend all classes. It is recommended that assigned readings be done before the lecture for which they are assigned.
