Scheduled tests and activities will not be changed and anyone not participating will not be allowed to make them up. If you know in advance that you will have a conflict with a test, you may contact the instructor IN ADVANCE and discuss the issue with him. In some cases, make-up tests may be allowed if notice is given IN ADVANCE. The teacher is not responsible for providing you with any missed work or lecture notes.

Student Responsibilities: The student is responsible for attending every class and being there ON TIME. If a student should miss class, he/she is responsible for obtaining the notes/material missed during that class.
