Tests

There will be four common time exams and a common time final exam.

You must take tests on the specified date. If you have a verified conflict with the time scheduled for an exam, an alternative starting time for the exam on the same evening will be provided. In general, makeup exams will not be given. If a student misses an exam for reasons that are serious, unavoidable, and beyond the student's control, the situation will be handled on an individual basis.

The four common-time midterms will be given Wednesdays evenings at 7:00 PM. More details about the online format of the test can be found on Canvas.

Final Exam

As mentioned above, there will be a common final exam on Tuesday, May 12th at 7:00 PM. The final exam is a required class meeting that will not be rescheduled for discretionary reasons, including conflicts with work schedules, with classes and exams at other colleges, or travel plans.

Warning: Common-time exams are inflexible. If there is a conflict with the final in another class that does not have a common-time final, you will be expected to change the other one.

Honor System

''As a Hokie, I will conduct myself with honor and integrity at all times. I will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor will I accept the actions of those who do.''

Students enrolled in this course are responsible for abiding by the Honor Code. A student who has doubts about how the Honor Code applies to any assignment is responsible for obtaining specific guidance from the course instructor before submitting the assignment for evaluation. Ignorance of the rules does not exclude any member of the University community from the requirements and expectations of the Honor Code.
