Late work:
If you miss a class WITH TEACHER APPROVAL, you may go to this website and do the work, then email it to the teacher. You will have a reduction of at least 5 points on any assignment that is received on a day other than the one dictated by the teacher for the entire class. No "make-up" exams will be given - if you miss the oral or written exam, you will receive an ABI. You may consult your department regarding "rattrapage."
