Examination Policy
Although every effort will be made to adhere to the examination schedule shown above, the instructor reserves the right to alter the examination schedule during the semester if the necessity to do so arises. If any adjustments to the schedule are made, the new date and time will be during a regularly scheduled class meeting. It is the responsibility of each student taking the course to be available to attend class during regularly scheduled class meetings as listed in the Schedule of Classes regardless of work or family considerations.
Please note that the instructor reserves the right to require each student to present their George Mason University Photo ID to be admitted to an examination during the semester and the final examination.
Semester Exam Make-Up Policy
There are no make-up exams or specially arranged exams given during the semester. However, if a student is compelled to miss one of the four semester exams due to circumstances beyond their control, the final exam can be count as 52% instead of 36% provided that sufficient written justification is given to the instructor in a timely fashion (one week after the missed examination). It is the responsibility of each student, who misses a scheduled exam, to make sure that they provide the written justification promptly and that the instructor accepts the justification by returning in writing a note that it is approved. Please note that this policy applies to only one missed examination and not to two. In no case will the instructor increase the weight of the final exam beyond 52%.
