Final: If you miss the final without a valid excuse, you will receive a 0 on the exam.  Valid reasons are: illness (with doctor note), death in family, car accident on day of exam.  Please inform me ASAP if this occurs.  The only opportunity for a make-up will be the Wednesday following the final exam.
