(1)Tests must be taken at scheduled times. If a test is missed
for a valid reason, then a make-up test can be arranged. Midexams will
be scheduled at evening so that we can make up for the three classes I will
miss in April.
(2)Individuals who have any disability which might affect their
ability to perform in the class are encouraged to inform the instructor at
the start of the quarter. Adaptation of methods, materials or testing
may be made to provide for equal participation.
