Policy on missed mid-term
If students have a valid reason not to take the mid-term examination, they must:
1. Notify the instructor within 24 hours of the exam (email: sadoulet@are; tel. 642 7225). Students need to have a
written certificate from a medical or legal authority justifying the reason for
having missed the examination.
2. Take the mid-term as an open book take home examination. If the answers are
of A quality, the final examination will be counted for 70% of the grade instead
of 45%.
Failure of the above will result in a 0 score for the mid-term.
Fire Alarm Policy
A truly annoying bad habit at UCB is the pulling of fire alarms by
ill-prepared and selfish students who foolishly think their entire
future rests on the grade on one midterm. This is a felony crime,
punishable by a fine and time in jail. In addition, anyone caught
pulling the alarm will fail the course and is subject to expulsion
from the University. If the alarm is pulled during an exam, the class
will move outside and finish the exam in the allotted time.
