There will be no makeup exams under any circumstances. If you miss an exam you will receive a 0 score. Test material will come from either the text book or lecture.

The Grievance Procedure requires you to present your case to me in writing with the following information (a) Student name (b) Question or item number (c) Your chosen answer (d) The basis to support your alternative, such as text pages, with clear rationale. I will review any grievances and will make a judgment about whether additional points will be awarded for the item in question.

However, I will test on material covered in class lectures and not all this material covered will be in the book.
