________________________________________

Missing the exam. If on some reason you can’t make it to the exam (due to health issues etc.) then please e-mail me well before the midterm. The earlier you notify me the more chances the issue could be resolved.

________________________________________

Additional time on the exam. This refers only to the students who have documentation from the DSS (Disability Support Services) that grants them additional time on the exam. You will need to start writing the midterm earlier than others; please, e-mail me before the midterm and I will set up a time and place when you can come and start working on the midterm.

________________________________________

Coping with stress. The exam is scheduled at 7pm. So don’t cram after 6pm. It will only make your brain tired, and you won’t be able to concentrate during the exam. Rather take a walk or eat something before the exam.
