You are only allowed to make up one major test grade.  If you know in advance you will be absent, please let me know. Lab practical may not be made up.  Quizzes or daily grades may not be made up. 


Class Policies: There is zero tolerance for cheating.   You earn your grade.   I do not give extra credit assignments and I do not “give” points at the end of the semester, so do not ask.
