Instructor signature is required in order to claim these points. These points will then be counted and recorded by the end of the course.
MAKEUP Policy: No MAKE-UPs will be given, unless the student informs the teacher one week and a half in advance about his or her reason for not taking the scheduled Exam. MAKEUPs are usually more difficult than regular tests due to the fact that they are given at a later time, and more material has been covered.
