  1. Make a note: I cannot change the dates for the scheduled exams. You must take all examinations as scheduled. Only, under certain extenuated/verifiable circumstances, you may be able to get the average points of a couple of your exams for the exam you may miss. Back to top

  2. Missing last days of classes or failing to take finals? Then you grade will be an “F” for the semester regardless of the points you accumulate during the semester.

  3. I cannot change the dates for finals, Plan carefully. If you already have some plans for these days, I recommend you postpone taking this class for when you can be present for all examinations. If you cannot make it to the finals (oral & written), then you may get a non passing grade for this class, regardless of the points you accumulate during the semester.

  4. If you stop attending classes, It is YOUR responsibility to do proper adjustments to your schedule and drop the class.

  5. If you have 15% of absents you grade automatically becomes an “F” no matter how well you do with quizzes, exams and everything else.

  6. Every student must be present during all oral evaluations, even if you have already presented yours. If you fail to do this, then your entire semester grade can be a non passing grade or at least be dropped one letter grade. A becomes B; B become C….. etc
