5 The exams are composed to test knowledge and skills acquired through reading and lecture. The exam will not be a group effort. There will be NO MAKE UP for the Final Exam. The Final Exam is an evaluation of your individual knowledge and skill acquired by attending and preparing each week for this class. The Final Exam will be comprehensive, but you will be informed of those topics that the exam will feature, so that you will be able to focus your study in those areas. Tardiness: You are expected to be on time for all classes and you are responsible for all material covered in class.

6 However, I do understand that circumstances occur (traffic, job responsibilities, transportation challenges, etc) may interfere with your arriving at the scheduled start time. Please come regardless of the arrival time. It is better to come for some time, than no time at all. Make-up policy: If you are not present on the day of one of the end-of-chapter exams, you will be allowed to take the exam at a later date. However, you must take the makeup exam within 2 weeks of the originally scheduled date.
