(1) Permission to write a makeup midterm may be granted in the
following circumstances:
(a) prior notice of a valid, documented absence (e.g. out-oftown varsity athletic commitment) on the scheduled date;
or
(b) notification of the instructor within 24 hours of absence due
to medical condition. Original written documentation, for
example a doctor’s note or letter from a coach, is required;
otherwise, a score of 0 will be given for the missed midterm.
(2) You are allowed (and encouraged) to work together on homework, but copying someone else’s homework and turning it in
as your own is considered cheating. Any form of cheating, on
homework or exams, will not be tolerated.
(3) Calculators will not be allowed in any exams.
ADA:
The Americans with Disability Act requires that reasonable accommodations be provided for students with cognitive, systemic, learning and psychiatric disabilities. Please contact me at the beginning
