****FINAL EXAM Wednesday
12/8. Sorry, no one can take the Final
Exam early or late. If you cannot make the date due to
a valid, documented reason (NOT “I’m not ready” / “I need to study more”,
etc.), you may take an incomplete in the class, and then take the Final Exam
when you return to school next semester, at which point your grade will also
be changed. You must tell me prior to the
Final Exam if you cannot make the date.
If you simply do not show up to the Final Exam, you will receive a “0”
for the Final Exam. If you have used the online course
option due to COVID concerns, or have or have been exposed to COVID, you may
take the exam online through Blackboard, but you MUST take it at the exact
same time (8:00-9:50 a.m. with 90 minutes total). |
