and you are welcome to get started early.]
Excused Absences:
The only absences that will be considered excused will be those involving
1. an official event of a MC group/team that requires you to be there.
If you know that you will be absent on a specific lab due to your team being
involved in a game or activity, let your instructor/assistant know before the date
that you will be absent. See below for rules about making up your work.
2. an event requiring medical and/or police personnel.
Issues of convenience are NOT considered excused absences. See below for
rules about making up your work.
Make-up Work:
There are no make-up labs. If you miss your lab, you have missed
lab for that week. You may not come to any other lab to make it up. If the
absence is excused, there are no make-up labs. If the absence is unexcused, there
are no make-up labs. There are no make-up labs. You are responsible to get the
material on your own.
If you have an excused absence, you may take the postlab quiz the following
week with no penalty IF
1. you present proper notification explaining why you should be excused
and
2. you present the lab manual work from the previous week.
If you have an unexcused absence, you may take the postlab quiz the following
week with a penalty (you will only receive half of whatever score you make) IF
1. you present the lab manual work from the previous week.
If you miss more than one week consecutively, you will forfeit the postlab quiz
points for the quiz you miss and receive a zero.
There will be no make-up exams given. You MUST be at your regularly
scheduled lab for the final exam.
CHEATING:
You are expected to hold yourself to a high standard of ethics. Following the MC
honor code is a must. Incidents of cheating, in whatever form, will be dealt with
severely, including but not limited to receiving a zero on the assignment/quiz.
