Tests will consist of multiple choice items, and short answer written responses. Should you be absent for an exam (and I highly encourage you to be present for exams) you have one week to set an appointment to make it up and this will be difficult to arrange given that we must find a time for your schedule and mine to correspond. Also, make up exams will be harder since it cannot be the same as given on the scheduled day. If you miss one of the first two exams, that will be your dropped grade.
Exam dates: April 9, April 21, May 5, May 21

Attendance will be taken and counts toward your grade. One absence will be excused. Success in the course requires attendance. Responsibility to drop the course resides with the student if you decide to stop attending.

If you have trouble joining, staying connected, or some other problem, your attendance will still be granted. An absence will be counted if you miss class and do not contact me within 24 hours. Please avoid abusing this relaxation of attendance policy.
