Final Exam:

The final exam for this course is scheduled for 2:45-4:45 PM, Monday, April 30, 2012 and is valued at 240 points. When you registered for this course, you committed to taking the final exam at this time. The examination time was announced in the Schedule of Classes, and it is your responsibility to avoid final exam conflicts at the time of registration. If you are registered in Business F 317, Business X 100, or Chemistry C 341 AND E370, you have a final exam conflict which must be resolved NOW. Failure to take the final results in “F” as a final grade. Only in the case of some documented catastrophic occurrence is an “ I ” awarded on an ad hoc basis.

Missing an Exam: 

If you are unable to take an exam for any reason, you must notify me in writing of the situation and that you will be missing the exam.  E-mail is fine for immediate notice.  However, as soon as possible after the exam and at most within seven calendar days after the exam, a "Missed Exam Form" must be submitted. T his form can be found on the online course under “Class Information” or on this web site under "Special Forms." If a lab exam is involved, notification should go to your lab coach as well.

No makeup exams will be given; no exams will be given early; no exams will be given late.  The point value awarded to you for any missed exam will be determined with the final. You will receive points equal to the percentage of correct answers you gave on your final exam.  For example, if you get 30 questions correct out of 40 on the final, or a 75%, you will receive 75 points for each exam you missed over the course of the semester.  The number of points is completely determined by the percentage of correct answers on your final exam.

Missing the Final:

There are no options for missing the Final Exam, with the exception of an Incomplete granted in special circumstances and which is determined on an ad hoc basis prior to the date of the Final Exam.  Once the final has been taken, there is no longer an opportunity for appeal.
