Medical emergencies are of course excluded if accompanied by a doctor’s note. A note indicating that you were seen at the health center on the day of the exam is not a sufficient documentation of medically excused absence from the exam. The note must say that you were medically unable to take the exam. Provided that proper documents of excuse are presented, a make-up midterm will be given. In other cases, you will be given zero (0) on the exam. Employment interviews, employer events, weddings, vacations, etc. are not excused absences. Missing an in-class practices: A make-up will be given to an in-class practice only if proper documents of medical excuses are provided. In other cases, you will be given zero (0. Employment interviews, employer events, weddings, vacations, etc. are not excused absences. Eligibility to take the final exam: No final exam. Missing a final: No final exam.
