POLICY FOR MISSED EXAMS
in Dr. Minkoff's courses

  • If you miss an exam for any reason, it is your responsibility to email me and arrange for a make-up.
    Wherever possible, please contact me in advance.
     
  • Approximately ten weeks into any fall or spring course (or five weeks into a summer course), at least one make-up time will be arranged for any exams previously missed. Students who need to make up a missed exam must do so at one of the assigned times or risk receiving a zero for the exam.
  • Students who know that they will miss a final exam should contact me. If at all possible, make-up final exams will be arranged during the final exam period in one of my other courses. If this is not possible, you may need to take a make-up exam several weeks later and receive a temporary grade of "Incomplete" in the interim.
     
  • Exception: Students who have made arrangments in advance with the Student Accessibility Services (Administration building, first floor) may take the exam at the SAS offices, according to their procedures.
  • Other exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis, e.g., for prolonged illnesses.
  • Most make-up exams will be in an all-essay, free-response format, possibly with some definitions, and with choices among questions.
