Policies re. Exams in Professor Chilton's Courses

Various exam policies:

• No one is permitted to take an exam after the first person leaves the examination room.  This policy applies regardless of whether a make-up exam is permitted and regardless of the reason you are late.  It's your responsibility to get yourself to the exam.
• I do not give make-up exams for exams which contain multiple choice questions.  They're simply too hard to prepare.  This is not to imply that I will necessarily give make-up exams for other forms of exam.
• I may excuse students from an exam if they negotiate this in advance with me and provide appropriate supporting documentation if required.
• I may excuse students from an exam even without prior agreement if they have a reasonable excuse, one supported by documentation.  "Reasonable" and "supported by documentation" are according to my judgment.
• Excused exams will simply not be counted in the final average.  (In other words, for the mathematicians among you, they will be treated as if they had a weight of 0.)  They won't count for you, they won't count against you.  If the exam turns out to have been a really easy one that everyone else got an A on, that's just the luck of the draw.  Ditto if you miss a really hard exam that everyone else failed.
