  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.
