The make up article is due one week after the missed quiz. Click here to download the Quiz Make Up Worksheet. The make-up assignment is only worth 5 points maximum (1/2 the rate of the quiz you missed).

 

Test Make-ups:  Tests and the final exam can be made up with an official note from your physician or if there are serious and compelling circumstances (e.g., a death or serious illness in your family, your house burns down -  running out of gas or your roommate didn’t want to get out of bed to take you to school doesn’t count L.)  It is your responsibility to contact the instructor to make arrangements for a make-up (ASAP!). Make-up tests will also be given BEFORE the test date (if you know you will be out on the test date). You MUST contact the instructor in advance to arrange for your test administration.
