The criteria for evaluation will be given out in class. Makeups must be approved before the exam date whenever possible. Each student has the possibility of one makeup per semester without penalty. All makeups must be taken within two weeks of the original exam date or the student loses the grade for that exam. Makeups will cover the same material as the regular exam.
Similar requirements exist for the extension of time on the take-home part of the exam.
Only in a case of a major illness or extreme family circumstances will additional time be allowed. To encourage class attendance, a roll sheet will be passed out each class period. The professor does not make a distinction between excused and unexcused absences except in regard to administrative excuses. Students with exceptional circumstances are welcome to talk to the professor. The instructor expects courtesy toward himself and other students in the class.
