If you are going to miss an exam you must notify me BEFORE the exam is given. If there is a documented reason (i.e., physician's note) for missing the exam you likely will be excused from taking that exam (i.e., no make-up exam), and the importance of your other exams will be adjusted accordingly. If you do not have a valid excuse from the Office of Undergraduate Studies, you will receive a zero for that exam.
