EXAM DATES & TIMES

 

Because of the online nature of this course, flexibility in taking tests and exams is necessary but within the range of time specified in the schedule below. 

 

Online chapter tests, open-book tests, and other activities are clearly announced in terms of dates, times, and deadlines in the schedule below and in Georgia View / Vista. 

 

It is the responsibility of students to read components of this syllabus, updates, and announcements of assignments regularly in Georgia View / DVista, in order to know the dates and times of online tests, open-book tests, exams, and other course assignments and activities.

 

The five course in-class exams are to be taken on Tuesdays, on the same dates mentioned below, at 8:00 -9:15 am, in Room LIA-111, at the DSC campus.

 

 

MAKE-UP EXAMS

 

Make-up exams can be requested for extremely difficult circumstances. If an exam is justifiably missed (e.g. physical injury or death in the family), a student may ask for a make-up exam to be scheduled as soon as possible. This does not apply to the online tests, open-book tests, and the last in-class exam.
