Missed /Tests:

The student is responsible for keeping track of tests and due dates for assignments posted on the calendar. There are no makeup exams.  Any uncoordinated, unexcused missed exam will result in a score of 0 for that exam.  If you have a doctor's excuse, see me for other options.  You must call/e-mail the instructor within 24 hrs if you are unable to take an exam.

1.  As a courtesy for to classmates and instructor in class, please do not talk, type, or print while the instructor is talking to the class or when a student is asking a question which pertains to the class.
