Given weekly on Fridays, except on exam dates.
Intended to cover the weekly problem assignments. Lowest two scores dropped. |

final exam score will be substituted for the missed exam. This may be done
for at most one hour exam; and except for extreme circumstances,
excuses must be cleared in advance. Otherwise a missed exam will be scored
as zero. |

exam will be scored as zero unless the student has secured an excuse
for the absence from the dean of his or her college. In the latter case
a grade of M will be given for the course, if the student could have passed
by taking the final exam; and the student must take a makeup exam early
in the following term. |
