Examinations:    Three examinations will be given in this course.  Each examination will contribute approximately one-third to the final grade.  The total number of points from the three exams will be used in final grade calculations.  The examinations are not cumulative.

Make-Up Exams:    Students are expected to take all exams on the days scheduled.  Approval for a make-up exam will be given only if there is adequate documentation that absence from an exam was absolutely unavoidable.  If permission to take a make-up exam is granted, the format of the exam (usually oral) will be at the discretion of the Course Director.
